Goldwater Flushed Out

We join a raised pot between Marc Des Anges and Stephen Goldwater, and after a raising war, Goldwater ends up all in for 52,000. Des Anges makes the call, putting his opponent at risk of elimination. He turns over {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}, and is in rough shape versus the {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} of Goldwater.

The flop is in Des Anges' neighborhood though, as it comes out {3-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {10-Clubs}, giving him a flush draw. The river is a blank, {2-Spades}.

"Don't do it to me. Don't do it to me," pleads Goldwater, but the poker gods aren't listening. The {A-Clubs} drills the river, giving Des Anges the winning nut flush. Stephen Goldwater is crushed, and he makes his way quietly towards the rail.
