Flush Over Flush In The Blinds

It was a battle of the blinds with Kevin Calenzo in the small blind and Nicholas Wilbur in the big blind. Preflop, Calenzo completed and Wilbur checked his option.

The flop was {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and while we don't know the flop action, the turn and river were exciting enough to make this a potentially-big turning point in the tournament. The dealer placed the {j-Clubs} down on the turn and Calenzo checked. Wilbur fired out 100,000 before Calenzo clicked it back to 200,000. Wilbur made the call.

The river was the {k-Diamonds} and Calenzo led for 251,000. After some thought, Wilbur stuck in the chips as he seemed to almost know he was beat. Sure enough, Calenzo tabled {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for a flush. Wilbur showed a flush himself as he tossed in his cards to the muck.
