Busquet Drags a Big One

The under-the-gun player opened to 700 and was called in four places from the player to his immediate left, the hi-jack, Olivier Busquet from the cutoff and the big blind.

The flop came {3-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and the big blind checked, prompting a 1,700 c-bet from the original preflop raiser. The player to his immediate left called, the hi-jack folded, Busquet called and the big blind folded.

The turn brought a {6-Clubs} and the under-the-gun player led out again for 3,275. The player to his left again called, as did Busquet.

The {4-Spades} completed the board and the under-the-gun player checked. The player to his immediate left fired a 6,500 bet and Busquet called. The under-the-gun player looked unhappy and mucked. The early position player tabled {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} for aces and sixes, but Busquet flipped over {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a flopped flush, which was good enough to scoop the very large pot.

Busquet is currently all smiles and rightly so, as he is sitting with just about 85,000.
