Glaser Doubles With Flush

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Arto Mansner raised to 60,000 from the cutoff and Benny Glaser reshoved all in from the hijack. Mansner called and the cards were on their backs. Glaser was the player at risk.

Benny Glaser: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Arto Mansner: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

It was a classic race and the board came {7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}. The flop couldn't have been much better for Glaser, not without him actually hitting. The turn brought him a pair of kings and the river completed his flush to give him the double up.
