McCormick Rivers a Flush to Survive
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
With Tom McCormick all in for his last 500 chip from the small blind, Marcel Luske limped under the gun. Marsha Wolak called from middle position and David Scheunemann checked out of the big blind.
The three players checked the 5♥2♠7♥ flop to see the 9♥ turn. After Scheunemann checked, Luske bet 6,000, which only Wolak called.
Luske bet 15,000 when the 6♦ came on the river. Wolak quickly called and the cards were revealed.
Tom McCormick: 6♥2♥ 
Marsha Wolak: 9♦8♠
Marcel Luske :K♣J♥
Luske had a total airball with king-high, while Wolak rivered a straight. However, McCormick revealed a flush to win the hand and remain in the tournament.
