Long Makes a Flush to Double Up
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Aaron Zhang opened the action with a raise to 24,000. Action then folded to the big blind Colleen Long who three-bet all in for 161,000. Zhang confirmed the count and then put in chips to call.
Colleen Long: A♠9♦ 
Aaron Zhang: A♣6♣
Long had Zhang dominated and in a great spot to double up. But after the 7♦6♦3♦ flop Zhang paired his six and took the lead. But Zhang was left drawing dead after the Q♦ hit the turn to give Long a flush, and after the 9♥ hit on the river she officially secured the double up.
At a nearby table Leo Araneta and Robert Nguyen both were seen heading to the payout desk after being eliminated.
