Big blind Mike Lang bet 7,000 after a {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{k-Hearts} flop, and the button raised all in for 20,500. Tom Hammers, in the small blind, called the shove, and Lang called as well. A {j-Hearts} paired the board and completed a three-flush, and Hammers checked to Lang, who shipped all in. Hammers folded.

Lang: {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Button: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Lang had turned a boat, but he still needed to dodge a king that would make his opponent a bigger boat, as well as an open-ended straight flush draw. The river was a blank, the {8-Diamonds}, and Lang, who finished Day 1b of Mid-States Poker Tour Meskwaki as the chip leader, finds himself on another big stack.
