Flush Draws Galore

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

Fireworks flew between David Peters and Benjamin Pollak on a {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop that resulted in the latter getting his stack of 12,075 in the middle.

Pollak: {k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Peters: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Both players had flopped a flush draw, but of course Peters' ace was best. The {10-Hearts} turn was of no consequence, but the {K-Clubs} river was, as Pollak paired up to keep his tournament life alive and crippled Peters in the process.
