After seeing the flop from the blinds with {9-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, Nick Marino decided to put on a show for his son Mario - who he brought to Atlantic City for the latter to play in his first poker tournament.

The dealer fanned the {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{8-Hearts} across the felt and Andrew Zhu c-bet, with Marino's last 720,000 coming in over the top and on the come. Zhu snapped him off with the {7-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for top pair and his own bevy of draws.

Turn: {8-Clubs}
River: {7-Clubs}

"Yes!" shouted Zhu at the sight of his full house. "Come on!"

"Nope..." announced the dealer while Zhu was still celebrating away from the table. "Straight flush."

Another scan of the board showed the bad news, and Zhu's excitement quickly dissipated while Satish Surapaneni commented aloud on the "sickest hand he's seen."
