On a K♥7♥5♥ flop, Jovan Kenjic checked and Adrian Mateos continued for 2,500.

Kenjic check-raised to 7,000 and Mateos called. The turn was the 6♥ and Kenjic bet 6,000. Mateos called again.

The river was the 4♠. Kenjic bet 8,000 and Mateos raised in position to 42,000. Kenjic made it 85,000 and Mateos moved all in for 157,000.

A wry smile was on the face of Kenjic as he pondered his decision.

"I block a straight flush," said Kenjic before calling with A♥9♥ for the nut flush.

Mateos turned over 4♥3♥ for a straight flush and sent Kenjic to the rail.
