Bonding Gets There; Busts One

Lars Bonding opened with a raise to 150 before the flop. The player to his immediate left popped it up to 275 and the small blind decided to tag along. Bonding called as well and the three saw a flop of {7-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}.

All three players opted to check and the turn brought the {4-Clubs}. The small blind checked once again and Bonding tossed out a bet of 425. The late position player called and the small blind quickly counted out enough chips for a raise, making it 1,525 total. Bonding tanked for about a minute before flat calling and the third player took this opportunity to make a beeline out of the hand.

With two players going heads up to fifth street, the dealer pounded the table and produced the {5-Diamonds}. The small blind bet 1,550 into Bonding. Bonding picked up his entire stack and plopped it in the middle. His opponent quickly called but mucked his hand when Bonding tabled {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a flush. Bonding's opponent gathered his belongings and headed to the rail, falling just short of making the first break.
