Wieckenberg Bests Achille Flush Over Flush, Stroke Laments Lost Opportunity
Level 3
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
On a flop of 5♣K♣4♣, Shawn Stroke bet 2,500 from the big blind and Jacopo Achille called under the gun. Jan Wieckenberg then raised to 7,500 in the hijack.
Stroke called, but Achille put in a reraise to 27,000. Wieckenberg called, while Stroke got out of the way. The turn came the 5♦ and Achille checked over to Wieckenberg, who bet 12,000.
Achille called and the 6♣ fell on the river. Both players then checked and Wieckenberg showed A♣3♣ for the nut flush, while Achille had 10♣9♣.
"I win this pot. I folded king-five on the flop. Why did you reraise, man," Stroke lamented as he would've made a full house on the turn.
