"Nothing Like Flopping the Nuts"

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Greg Baird opened for 15,000 from early position only to have reigning MSPT Player of the Year Pat Steele min-raise to 30,000. Action folded back to Baird, who made the call, and the flop came down {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{j-Spades}. Baird checked and Steele paused for a beat before moving all in. Baird snap-called off for 134,000.

Baird: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}
Steele: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

"Wow, nice hand," Steele said. "Nothing like flopping the nuts."

Indeed, Baird had flopped the nut flush and Steele was drawing dead. The meaningless {J-Clubs} was put out on the turn followed by the {A-Clubs} on the river, and Baird was shipped the double.
