Bonventre Hits the River Flush to Stay Alive

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

With action still preflop, a big blind player had 4,500 chips committed to the pot, an early position player had 15,500 chips in, and Anthony Bonventre was all in for 27,300 chips on the button. The big blind player folded and the early position player called.

Anthony Bonventre: {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}
Early Position Player: {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The flop was {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} to put Bonventre well behind and looking for help. The {4-Diamonds} turn provided some flush possibilities, and he completed that flush on the {9-Diamonds} river to stay alive.

After the hand, Bonventre didn't appear to immediately recognize he was still in the tournament until the other players let him know as he said, "I hit the flush? Oh my gosh."
