Roth Runs Into the Nuts

Level 13 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

The turn showed {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Christopher Roth checked with a single T-1,000 chip behind. Larry Kantor bet and Roth asked "do you have a flush?"

Kantor replied "I don't think I am allowed to say that," and Roth called all in shortly after.

"I have the nuts," Kantor announced and rolled over {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} for the ace-high flush.

"That's terrific," Roth joked as he was drawing dead with {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades} to see a meaningless {3-Hearts} roll off on the river when he headed out of the tournament area.
