Moreno Makes Flush, Appleton Rivers Full House
Action folded around to Francisco Perez Moreno, who open raised from the button. Luke Appleton three-bet from the big blind and Moreno called.
The flop came K♥7♥4♥. Appleton made a continuation bet for 3,400 and Moreno called the bet.
The turn was the K♠. Appleton slowed down with a check, but Moreno picked it up with a bet of 9,000, putting pressure on his opponent, who had just 15,200 left behind. There was an anguished look on Appleton's face as he deliberated his next move before throwing in the rest of his stack. Moreno quickly called the extra few chips.
Appleton turned over A♠K♦ for trip kings, but Moreno flipped J♥9♥ for a flopped flush.
In a dramatic twist, the river fell the 4♣ to give Appleton a full house. He almost apologetically scooped the chips.
