Cornwall Hits One-Outer For Straight-Flush

Mark Cornwall Hits One-Outer
Mark Cornwall Hits One-Outer
Mark Cornwall raised it up to 1,700 before an opponent moved all in. Cornwall made the call with {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades} but was in trouble as his opponent turned over {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}.

Popular poker pro Kenny Tran happened to be standing by the table chatting with some players and observing the action as the board was dealt.

The first four cards fell {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{8-Clubs} giving both players a flush, but Cornwall's queen-high flush trailed the ace-high flush of his opponent. Just before the river was dealt Kenny Tran commented "he has one out...the ten of clubs" and right on cue, almost as if the gods had heard the call from Tran (and not for the first time!), the {10-Clubs} peeled off for a remarkable one-outer for the straight-flush to send Cornwall's opponent to the rail to the shock of the table!

Cornwall now sits with 25,000 as his opponent heads to the "Bad Beat Booth".
