Capitan Shows the Straight Flush

Level 4 : 200/500, 0 ante

Bogdan Capitan raised to 1,500 from middle position, and only Niklas Astedt obliged from the small blind. The flop fell {5-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and both players checked.

Astedt checked again on the {j-Clubs} turn before Capitan bet 2,000, which got a quick fold from Astedt.

"Nothing! Nothing! Not even a draw?" joked Capitan as he tabled {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for the flopped straight flush.

Astedt Takes From Silver

Level 4 : 200/500, 0 ante

The action folded to Max Silver in the cutoff, and he raised to 1,500. Niklas Astedt three-bet to 3,000 on the button and Silver called after the players in the blinds folded.

The flop fell {5-Spades}{q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, and Silver check-called a 6,000 bet from Astedt.

Both players checked on the {3-Hearts} turn before Silver bet 12,000 on the {8-Diamonds} river.

Astedt looked at Silver inquisitively before he made the call after five seconds of thought.

"I have a queen," said Silver, before he mucked after Astedt tabled {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for the overpair.
