Hearts On Board Help Cordero Crush Khalili

Three-way action before the flop resulted in Sohale Khalili all in versus Alex Cordero, with Andrea Tropea having stepped aside in the face of the reraising.

Khalili had {A-Clubs}{K-Spades} and Cordero {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and when the board came {8-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, then {8-Hearts}, then {3-Hearts}, the table reacted with an "ohhhh" at the sight of the fourth heart on board. Cordero had made a flush, and Khalili was out in 29th.

Tropea shook his head and smiled, saying he'd folded pocket jacks. "Nice hand," he told Cordero, who was shaking his head, too, saying "it just played itself out."

Cordero increases his chip lead with that one, while Tropea is sitting wondering what might have been.
