Long Makes a Flush to Double Up
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Aaron Zhang opened the action with a raise to 24,000. Action then folded to the big blind Colleen Long who three-bet all in for 161,000. Zhang confirmed the count and then put in chips to call.
Colleen Long: A?9? 
Aaron Zhang: A?6?
Long had Zhang dominated and in a great spot to double up. But after the 7?6?3? flop Zhang paired his six and took the lead. But Zhang was left drawing dead after the Q? hit the turn to give Long a flush, and after the 9? hit on the river she officially secured the double up.
At a nearby table Leo Araneta and Robert Nguyen both were seen heading to the payout desk after being eliminated.
