Zipprich Rivers the Nuts
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Bobby Opila and Stephen Zipprich found themselves heads up on a board of 
with around 20,000 in the pot. Opila was in the cutoff and checked to Zipprich, who was on the button. Zipprich went into the tank for over a minute and proceeded to throw out a bet of 20,000.
Opila thought for a bit, crunching some numbers in the meantime. He set aside 20,000 and counted the remainder, which totaled 29,950. Eventually, he threw out a call.
Zipprich showed 
for the nut flush. Opila showed 
for aces up, not immediately realizing that Zipprich had filled up on the river. The dealer pushed forward the three diamonds to denote the flush and he remarked to himself briefly before congratulating Zipprich on a great hand.
