Two Nut Flush Draws Collide
Level 5
: 200/400, 400 ante
Paul Hendee raised to 1,800 from under the gun, and was called by the button, as well as Jesse Murrell in the big blind.
Murrell checked the flop to Hendee, who bet 5,200. The button called and Murrell folded.
Murrell announced, "All in!" and slammed a stack of 5k chips in the pot once the hit the turn, putting the button at risk for his last 27,500. The button tanked for a few minutes, then flicked a chip in the pot to call.
Opponent:
Paul Hendee:
Hendee's nut spade draw and pair of sixes was ahead at the moment, but his opponent held the nut heart draw and could also hit a nine to steal the big pot away from "OTWPaul". The bricked off on the river, and Hendee said, "Good game...definitely the chip leader now!" before raking in the pot.
