Shayler Loses to Roussia
Level 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
About a month ago, Stephen Shayler finished in 14th place here in Rozvadov during the partypoker MILLIONS Germany Main Event for €35,000 and he was just involved in a hand.
Loic Roussia raised to 150 from the cutoff and was called by Ali Ayub (button) and Stephen Shayler (small blind).
The flop came 
and they all checked through to the 
on the turn. Shayler now bet 350, Roussia called and Ayub folded.
The 
on the river completed the board. Shayler continued with a bet of 1,000. Roussia however raised to 3,500. Shayler sat up straight and looked at the board again. He ended up calling in the end. Roussia tabled 
for the rivered flush. Shayler disappointedly turned around his 
to show he had flopped the nut straight and improved to a flush which couldn't beat the one of Roussia.
