Crushed by King: Autran’s Flush No Good
With the board showing A♠9♠K♣4♠7♣ and around 110,000 in the middle, action checked to Curtis King in the hijack. He made a bet for roughly 275,000, easily covering both Diego Sanchez Serrano and Jean-Robert Autran in the blinds.
Serrano went deep into the tank before ultimately folding, leaving Autran to make the decision for his tournament life. After a long pause, Autran committed the chips and made the call.
King tabled Q♠10♠ for the second-nut flush, and Autran could only shake his head as he revealed 8♠7♠ for a weaker flush.
Autran was visibly crushed as he hit the rail, while King raked in a hefty pot to continue his rise up the chip counts.
As the chips were pushed across the table, Serrano quietly added, “I folded king of spades,” revealing just how few outs either player had to hit their flush.
