The turn was the 
and Luske put Frazin at risk.
"It's the only card that I can't call," Frazin said with his voice expressing disappointment and amazement at the same time.
"Wow, at least it came on the turn," Frazin added while mucking his hand. "I had jacks up."
Luske, in return, revealed three of his cards, exposing

on the river meant the small blind would scoop the main pot with the nut flush and 7-6-3-2-A low while Sharaskin stacked the button in the side pot.
