Alaei Scoops with a Flush

Stud/8:

Eli Elezra (X) (X) {2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Spades} (X)
Brian Townsend (X) (X) {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{2-Hearts} (X)
Daniel Alaei (X) (X) {8-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{4-Hearts} (X)

Eli Elezra had the bring-in, Brian Townsend completed, Daniel Alaei called and Elezra called. Townsend led out on fourth street with the high board and both Alaei and Elezra called. Townsend checked fifth, Alaei bet, and both Elezra and Townsend called. Townsend and Alaei checked to Elezra on sixth street. Elezra bet, Townsend called, Alaei raised, Elezra called and Townsend called. Alaei got another bet in on the river which only Elezra called.

Alaei turned up {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for a king-high flush in hearts. Elezra showed a queen-high flush in spades, but no low and Alaei scooped the pot. He's up to 210,000, Elezra is down to 130,000 and Townsend is on the short stack with 32,000.
