Micka Cracks Marchington's Queens on the River
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Nick Marchington raised to 325,000 on the button with Q♠Q♣ and Jeff Madsen called in the small blind, as did big blind Joel Micka with A♣3♣.
All three players checked the K♦8♠6♣ flop. The 2♣ turn gave Micka the nut flush draw and he bet 625,000. Only Marchington called as Madsen got rid of A♠10♦.
The 4♣ river gave Micka his flush and he moved all in for 1,600,000. Marchington considered the decision for a minute but eventually folded his queens as Micka took the pot.
