Van Wesemael Suffers the Ultimate Beat, Loses Ace-High Flush to Straight Flush
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
"You just missed a nice hand," Van Wesemael said with a wry smile on his face. "You want the details?"
From middle position, Van Wesemael told us, he opened for 1,000. Small blind Marc MacDonnell called and so did big blind Antoine Vranken.
The blinds checked on 
and Van Wesemael bet 1,800. Both of his opponents called.
As the 
hit the turn, MacDonnell bet 5,600. Vranken folded, Van Wesemael called.
The 
completed the board and MacDonnell bet 15,000 with 30,500 behind. Van Wesemael shoved and MacDonnell snap-called.
Van Wesemael had 
for the ace-high flush, but it turned out to be no good. MacDonnell tabled 
for the straight flush and collected the giant pot.
