Farha Hits a Miracle River

Randall Brueckner moved all in (as he's been doing for most hands as of late) and Sam Farha called all in for 46,800. Brueckner turned over {A-Spades} {10-Clubs}, dominating Farha's {K-Hearts} {10-Hearts}. The flop was {J-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {3-Clubs} and Farha picked up a flush draw. The turn was the {4-Spades} and the {K-Spades} spiked on the river to double up Farha once more.

Cliff Cantor Likes Straight Flushes

Cliff Cantor raised to 12,000 from the button and Nam Le called. The flop was {9-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}. Cantor checked, Le bet 30,000 and Cantor called. The turn was the {3-Clubs}. Cantor checked, Le bet 50,000, Cantor moved all in and Le called.

Cantor: {10-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}

Le: {9-Spades} {7-Spades}

Cantor flopped a ten-high straight flush and Le was drawing dead. The meaningless {A-Hearts} peeled off on the river and Le was back down to 34,000.
