Hodge Gets a Scare

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

After a flop of {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, two players checked to the cutoff, who bet 550. The small blind called, and Mark Hodge raised to 1,675. The bettor folded, and small blind again called. A {j-Clubs} came on the turn, and the small blind check-raised to 5,000 after Hodge bet 2,500. Hodge thought for about a minute before splashing his 16,525 stack into the middle. The small blind called.

Small blind: {q-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Hodge: {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

Hodge had the nut flush, but his opponent still had a shred of hope if the {j-Hearts} would show up on the river.

"Whew, that scared me," Hodge exclaimed as the dealer burned and turned the {j-Diamonds}.
