Double Flush Draw

From the cutoff seat, Joel Shulruf opened with a raise, and Travis Green moved all in from the small blind for his last 5,200 chips. When it came back to Shulruf, he called. Both players turned over ace-queen, with Shulruf's {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} in slightly better shape than Green's {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}.

Or so he thought. Green realized the benefit of having two flush draws preflop though, as the board ran out {5-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {J-Clubs} to favor the at-risk player and give him the winning four-flush. He's doubled up to around 13,000.
