Caputo Drawing to the Straight Flush
Level 8
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
James Caputo limped in from under the gun and called when Aleksandr Kirichenko made it 53,000 from the next seat over.
The A♣9♦8♦ flop checked through to the Q♦ turn. Caputo bet 400,000 and quickly called when Kirichenko shoved for 612,000.
Aleksandr Kirichenko: A♦A♥
James Caputo: Q♣J♦
Kirichenko had a set of aces, and the better flush draw to leave Caputo drawing to the 10♦ for the straight flush.
However, the 3♦ completed the board and Kirichenko doubled up.
