Cordero Knocks One Away

Alex Cordero has just eliminated a player in brutal fashion. We arrived at the table with a rather short-stacked player being all-in holding {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} against Cordero's {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. When the {9-Clubs}{4-Spades}{9-Hearts} flop was dealt, the players joked that they both had a chance to make the flush. The joking stopped on the {5-Clubs} turn though and then the table was completely silent as a disappointed player watched the {6-Clubs} complete the board on the river, giving Cordero the unlikely flush.
