Termini Hits a Flush On the River to Double Up
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Chad Baker opened the action with a raise to 15,000 from early position. He was called by Sal Termini in middle position and the big blind.
The flop came 5♠K♠8♦ and the big blind checked to Baker who bet out 15,000. Then Termini raised all in for 98,000. The big blind folded and Baker made the call to put Termini at risk.
Sal Termini: A♠4♠ 
Chad Baker: K♥Q♥
Baker flopped top pair but would need to fade an ace and the flush draw of Termini. The 8♣ was a safe one for Baker but the 3♠ on the river gave Termini the nut flush and the double up.
