Straight Flush Results in Small Pot for Hu

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Picking up the action on the turn, Evan Hu in the big blind was involved in a hand with Michael Trivett in the cutoff.

With the board reading Q♣8♣4♠Q♠ Hu checked. Trivett bet 2,300 and received a call from Hu.

The 10♣ river saw Hu check once more. After some time, Trivett checked back but quickly mucked after Hu announced "straight flush" as he turned over J♣9♣. While Hu did win the pot, it was clear that he was at least somewhat disappointed at being unable to extract more value with a hand that only comes around every so often.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

George Sanford was in a three-way hand on the flop as it read 9♣5♣7♥. All three players checked to the turn which came the J♠. Richard Sperberg bet 2,000, Georgios Soritopoulos called and Sanford got out of the way. The river was the A♥, Sperberg fired 4,500 and Sotiropoulos folded to send Sperberg the pot.

Sanford is fortunate be playing in this main event as he just finished chemotherapy for stage 4 cancer and is currently playing against doctors wishes. But he said that he can not guarantee he will ever have another chance to play this tournament, which has been a bucket list for him for many years so he is making the most of the time he has now.
