Hart Flushes Velador Out
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
The action was picked up on the 9♦Q♠J♠A♠ turn, with over 200,000 already in the pot. Luis Velador was in the big blind and bet 100,000, around half his stack, and Grant Hart put him all-in under the gun.
Velador made a quick call, but received bad news at the showdown.
Luis Velador: 9♠8♠5♦4♦
Grant Hart: A♦A♣10♠7♠
Hart had turned the higher flush, and with his straight flush out in Hart's hand, Velador was left drawing dead. The 4♠ river was rendered meaningless as Velador said his goodbyes and took his exit.
