Charalampos Lappas Eliminated by Straight Flush and Quads

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Charalampos Lappas and Matthew Diehl were all in and at risk against the big stack of Mikhail Korotkikh.

Korotkikh had {q-Clubs}{q-Spades} and was in the lead against the {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} of Lappas and the {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} of Deihl.

Korotkikh celebrated loudly when the flop came {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and he flopped four of a kind. Diehl pointed to the flop as the turn was coming down.

"Straight flush," he said, seeing he still had outs to win.

The turn was the {2-Hearts}, but the river was the {k-Diamonds}, and Korotkikh's excitement was somewhat muted by the runout. Diehl would triple up and Korotkikh made about 50,000 on the pot from Lappas.
