Straight Flush Launches Barousse Into the Lead

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Blake Barousse
Blake Barousse

Benjamin Thomas opened to 17,000 from under the gun and picked up four callers along the way. Five players saw a flop of {6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and what an action flop it was. It checked to Blake Barousse in the cutoff who bet 64,000 and only Earle Schwarz called on his right.

The {k-Spades} landed on the turn and Schwarz checked again. Barousse announced all in and Schwarz wasted no time in calling off his stack of just under 300,000. Schwarz flipped over {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for top pair and a flush draw and Barousse needed some help with {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}.

The river brought the {7-Clubs} which gave Schwarz a flush but Barousse improved to a straight flush. "That's sick," some players at the table agreed. The monster pot sent Schwarz to the payout desk and moved Barousse to the top of the leaderboard.
