Bad Beat Boosts Forbes

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

With about 7,000 in the pot on the river of a {5-Spades}{k-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades} board, Rob Forbes raised a bet of 5,000 from his heads-up opponent all-in, totaling 15,250. Forbes' opponent had him covered and took a few moments debating his decision.

He would eventually make the call and Forbes tabled the {a-Spades}{j-Spades} for the nut flush. Forbes' opponent revealed a flopped set of kings as his {k-}{k-} went into the muck.
