After an opponent raised to 450, Amir Vahedi reraised to 1,450. Another player moved in for 1,650 total. The original raiser then came back over the top for 5,225 and Vahedi called.

Vahedi and the first raiser both held A-K and the shorter-stacked player held J-J.

The board ran out {4-Clubs}

and Vahedi looked at the first raiser's hole cards again to see that he held the {A-Hearts}

and freerolled to a flush.

Vahedi was knocked down to 4,200 after building his stack nicely.
