Okay, here's one for the strange but true folder.

A player in late position had raised and Kevin "BeL0WaB0Ve" Saul called from the button, as did the big blind. The flop then came {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

. The big blind checked, and the preflop raiser surprisingly shoved all in for 116,700.

Saul had only 8,000 more than that, and so had to give it a think before finally announcing he was calling. The big blind folded, and Saul showed {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

for the flush.

His opponent's cards? {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Hearts}

.

The turn was the {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

and the river the {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

, and another player has hit the rail. After suffering through the early going today with the short stack, Saul is now way up to 246,000.
