Howard Gone in Less Than Ten

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

The flop read {j-Clubs}{8-Spades}{9-Clubs} with 7,100 in the middle already.

Robert Howard checked in the big blind and Daniel Hicks led out for 6,000 from the middle position. Howard responded with a shove and the dealer confirmed he had 36,100 when Hicks asked. Hicks contemplated his options for a while and then opted to make the call with the bigger stack.

"Flush draw?" Hicks asked and Howard nodded.

Robert Howard: {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Daniel Hicks: {q-Spades}{8-Clubs}

Howard was sitting on a flush draw indeed while Hicks had flopped a pair of eights but also a gutshot to a straight.

The rest of the board was completed with the {5-Diamonds} on the turn and the {j-Diamonds} on the river to seal the perfect start for Daniel Hicks and send Robert Howard to the rail.
