On the {5-Diamonds} turn both players checked. The {9-Clubs} completed the board and the big blind led for 1,000. Kornuth asked the dealer what was in the pot before tossing in 10,000. The big blind called fairly quickly and Kornuth happily showed {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for flopped quads.

Tong Li
Tong Li

With 17,000 in the middle on a flop of {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} the small blind bet 7,000 and was met with an all-in from recent WSOP Gold Bracelet winner Tong Li on the button. The small blind called for 13,500 total.

Small Blind: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Tong Li: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{2-Clubs}

Li flopped Broadway and had the backup of the royal flush draw. The small blind needed the board to pair to win or a king to chop the pot. Neither came as the board fell {j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} to send the small blind to the exit.

Straight Flush Sends Player For An Early Nappe

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

With 8,000 in the middle and five players seeing a flop of {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades} Craig Nappe in the small blind bet 8,000. Three players folded but the button moved all-in for 11,500. Nappe made the call.

Button: {q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Craig Nappe: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts}

The button had a useless flush draw, top pair and a gut-shot straight draw. Nappe had the better flush draw and a gut-shot straight draw of his own. The {2-Hearts} on the turn left the button drawing dead giving Nappe a flush. The {4-Hearts} sealed the deal giving Nappe a straight flush.
