Berkey's Flush is No Good

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

The board read {j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Lars Kamphues led out for 1,700 from the blinds. The action was on Matt Berkey who shipped all in for a little over 5,000 and Kamphues instantly called.

Berkey turned over {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for a queen-high flush but it was no match for the {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} of Kamphues who rivered a full house. The pot was sent to Kamphues and Berkey headed for the exit after a cooler of a hand.
