Hesser Hits a Flush; Two Players Closing At Or Near 250K

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

William Hesser raised to 4,600 from early position and the cutoff three-bet to 15,000. Action folded back to Hesser and he defended. The flop came {q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{q-Spades} and both players checked.

The turn was {8-Clubs} and Hesser checked to the cutoff, who bet another 15,000. Hesser called.

The river fell {9-Clubs} and Hesser checked once more. The cutoff checked behind.

Both players tabled their hands simultaneously. Hesser showed {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a rivered flush and his opponent tabled {j-}{j-}, quickly turning it over after seeing Hesser's flush.

"Didn't think you'd check the flush," said his opponent as the pot was sent his way.

Meanwhile, James Mordue has recently been seen at an adjacent table boasting a stack of 250,000 as well, putting the two players at or near the top of the chip counts as the tournament moves into the later levels of the evening.
