Tarango Has Another Flush
Level 30
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
On a pot of 12,000,000 and a flop of 7♣Q♠6♠, Billy Tarango bet 800,000 in late position, pushing Mir Gaskari out of the pot. Jack Nathan, in the big blind, called to see the next street.
The turn fell 9♣ and both players checked. On the river J♠, Nathan check-called Tarango's bet of another 800,000. Nathan asked, "Don't tell me you have another flush?"
Tarango tabled his hand to show A♦K♠8♠3♥ for a flush on the river. Frustrated, he mucked his hand and said he had a straight.
