They Flopped It

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

Frank Maltese and Robert MacEarhern were joined by a third player heading into a {10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop.

Both Maltese and the third player checked, leading to a 300-chip bet from MacEarhern. Maltese fired back with a check-raise to 700 and after the third player folded, MacEarhern made the call.

The turn brought the {5-Diamonds} and a 1,000-chip bet from Maltese. MacEarhern made the call again and after the {8-Clubs} river was revealed, Maltese tapped the table with a check.

MacEarhern threw out a 2,000-chip bet and Maltese made the crying call.

"You got me on the turn," he said.

"No, I flopped it," retorted MacEarhern, showing {k-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}.

"We both flopped it," added Maltese, claiming a jack-high flush that was simply outpipped.
