A French Flush

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

A player in middle position opened the action with a raise to 3,000 which was called by two players behind him, including Mark French on the button, and the big blind.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and the first two players checked. The third player bet 9,000 and French raised it to 22,000. It folded back around to the flop bettor who moved all in. It was another 14,000 for French to make the call and he moved in the chips.

French: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

The {6-Clubs} turn bricked French's flush draw but the {2-Diamonds} river nailed it. With the pot he has easily cleared the six-figure mark with 110,000.
