Pillai Rivers a Flush
Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
The heads-up action was picked up on the turn. 125,000 had already gone in the middle, with the board so far reading 
.
Shankar Pillai, in the small blind, was the first to act. He fired another 125,000. Anthony Spinelli made the call from the big blind.
The 
river elicited another barrel from Pillai, this time for 275,000. After a few moments of thought, Spinelli reluctantly made the call. Pillai quickly showed him the bad news, turning over 
for the nut flush. Spinelli mucked his hand as Pillai took down the pot.
