Patterson Flops the Nut Flush
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Tyler Patterson raised to 12,000 in late position and Ruslan Zakharchuk called in the small blind.
The dealer put out a monotone flop of 9♠J♠6♠ and Zakharchuk led out with a bet of 12,000. Patterson raised to 43,000 and Zakharchuk called, bringing the 10♥ turn.
Zakharchuk led out again, this time for 52,000, and Patterson bumped it up to 127,000. Zakharchuk made the call.
The J♣ river paired the board and Zakharchuk checked. Patterson thought for a moment before electing to check back with A♠5♠ for the nut flush, besting the K♥Q♠ of Zakharchuk.
