Tate Chose Not to Flush Chips
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
A potentially monster hand developed when three players were in for 300,000 chips before the flop.
After Zachary Zaret and Marco Johnson checked, Ronnie Tate bet 140,000 chips on K♥6♥Q♣. Zaret made the call, Johnson folded.
The turn of 5♥ hit any flush draws, but Zaret and Tate both checked. The 5♣ came on the river, pairing the board, but again, both players checked.
Zaret showed A♥9♥5♠2♦ to claim the win with an ace-high flush. Tate, who resisted taking a stab at the pot on both the river and turn, flashed a pocket pair of aces.
