Godfrey Ahana Backs Into It

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Godfrey Ahana raised to 1,000 from early position, and the player in the cutoff shoved for his remaining 2,600. Ahana called.

Ahana tabled {j-Spades}{10-Spades} and his opponent showed {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} for a flip.

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, and Ahana still needed to hit one of his two overcards to improve.

The turn was the {q-Spades}, giving Ahana flush and straight draws. The river was the {3-Spades} and Ahana backed into a flush to score the elimination and take his chips to just over double the starting stack.
