Setters Rivers The Nut Flush to Bust Herrera

Tyler Boyer

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Terry Setters raised to 3,100 from under the gun, he was called by Alejandro Herrera in the hijack, and Laurie Tournier in the small blind.

The flop came 3♥2♥3♠ and Setters bet out 6,000. Herrera made the call, and Tournier folded.

After the 7♥ on the turn, Setters bet 10,200 before Herrera raised all in for 25,000. After quickly debating his decision, Setters made the call to put Herrera at risk.

Alejandro Herrera: J♥J♣ All in
Terry Setters: A♥K♣

Herrera was ahead with his pocket jacks, but he would need to fade an ace, king, or heart to stay in the tournament. But he was unable to do so as the 8♥ hit on the river, to give Setters the nut flush, and knock Herrera out of the tournament.
