Straight Flush Crushes Nut Flush

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

In a hand relayed to the PokerNews team by Eyal Bensimhon via social media, he said he opened to 375 from middle position with queen-jack of spades. Two callers on the button and big blind came along to the {8-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop.

Bensimhon continued his betting after the big blind checked, with a bet to 600. The button raised to 1,500 and action folded back to Bensimhon who raised again to 3,900 with the gutshot straight flush draw.

The button called to see {9-Spades} on the turn, completing the straight flush for Bensimhon. He checked, only to see the big blind shove his stack for about 6,000. Bensimhon called excitedly, screaming "Straight flush!" as he revealed his cards. His opponent rolled over {A-Spades}{4-Spades} for the defeated nut flush.

The pot brought Bensimhon up to 35,000 chips.

Set vs Top Two

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Two players were looking at a {5-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{10-Hearts} board on the turn. One had moved all-in and action was firmly on Arash Amirpour, who had a decision to make. He didn't seem to like his spot all that much but made a quick call all the same.

It was the correct decision, his {j-Hearts}{j-Spades} a long way ahead of the {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} of his opponent. He just needed to fade clubs and the pot was his. The river was a {9-Diamonds} brick and Amirpour has jumped up to 30,500.

Simon Deadman joined the fray before the last break and already, he has made some headway on starting stack.

Just now he took a small pot, having defended {10-Spades}{3-Hearts} versus an open and two calls. The board came {7-Hearts}{5-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and every street had been checked by the four players. When play reached the showdown, Deadman showed his low straight and it was good to take the pot. He has chipped up to 16,750.

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Joshua Barnes opened to 350 under the gun. Marsha Wolak, in the small blind, called.

The flop came {q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{k-Hearts}. Wolak checked. Barnes bet 525. Wolak check-called. The turn came the {10-Diamonds}. Wolak bet 800. Her opponent called. The {5-Diamonds} river completed the board. Both players checked.

''Your queen is good,'' commented Barnes, but he was wrong as Wolak tabled {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. Barnes showed {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

''I didn't like the ten,'' he said.

''I didn't either, cause I would have won.'' she responded.

The flop was out and it read {10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. David Kaiura bet 800 and another player moved all-in for 7,875. Action was on Sam Cohen and she made the call, only to face a reraise all-in from Kaiura. After thinking for less than a minute, she made the fold despite the relatively cheap price.

Kaikura showed {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and his opponent, who held {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, was looking for hearts with two cards to come.

The {5-Spades} turn and {9-Clubs} river bricked for Kaiura and he sits with 32,600 in play. Sam Cohen has 9,725 to play with.
