Smallest Flush Pays Off For Rochford

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Michael O'Grady opened from under the gun with a raise to 2,000. Paul Rochford called a few seats over as did Tim Marsters on the button. The big blind called as well so it was four ways to a flop.

The flop was {Q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and all four players checked to see the {8-Clubs} on the turn. There, all four players checked again and the {Q-Clubs} came on the river, putting four clubs on the board. Action checked to the button on the river and there, Marsters put out a bet of 3,000. The big blind folded as did O'Grady, but Rochford didn't release. He called.

Marsters showed down his {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} for king-high, but Rochford had him beat with {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs} for the smallest flush, so he would take down the pot to approach 100,000 chips.
