Action picked up on the flop of 3♥4♥5♥ with roughly 120,000 in the pot, in a hand between Peter Waterstreet and his opponent, who had him covered.
Waterstreet had 137,000 behind, and all the money quickly went into the middle.
Peter Waterstreet: Q♥J♥
Opponent: A♥5♦
Although Waterstreet flopped a flush, he needed to fade a heart on the turn and river to stay alive.
He did exactly that, when the turn landed the 10♦, and the river brought the 3♣. He let out a sigh of relief, as he dragged in the pot.
