Shimizu Wins With a Flush
Level 16
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
Joe McKeehen raised and Nozomu Shimizu was the lone caller from the big blind.
The flop was 3?5?8? and Shimizu check-called a bet from McKeehen.
Both players checked the 8? turn and the river was J?. Shimizu checked and then called when McKeehen bet.
"Jack," McKeehen said as he turned over Q?J?. "Flush?"
Shimizu indeed had the flush and he turned over Q?7? to take the pot.
McKeehen lost the hand but he has been floating around the 1,000,000 mark as the tournament navigates its way through a long bubble.
