A Flush Doesn't Beat a Full House

[user22113]

On a flop of {Q-Diamonds}

, the small blind bet, a late position player called, and Jennifer Harman called from the button. The turn was the {10-Diamonds}

. The small blind bet his last 100 chip, the late position player called, and Harman folded. The river was the {3-Diamonds}

. The late position player showed a flush, while the small blind turned up Q-3 for the rivered boat.

As the dealer began to push the pot to the late position player with the flush, Annie Duke jumped out of her seat to correct the dealer, who was awarding the pot to the wrong player!

"I don't think a hand has gone by where we haven't had to explain something to the dealer," Duke commented.
