"Wow, Straight Flush"

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

After three players limped, the hijack came in with a raise to 900. Action folded back to the under-the-gun limper, who called, and then another limper, Brandon Tharp, called as well. The third limper, Adam Friedman, got out of the way, and three players went to a flop of {6-Clubs}{k-Spades}{8-Hearts}. The under-the-gun player checked, Tharp bet 1,225, and both his opponents called.

After the dealer burned and turned the {10-Hearts}, the under-the-gun player checked and Tharp bet 2,200. The hijack snap-raised to 6,000, the under-the-gun player folded, and Tharp called the additional 3,800.

When the {J-Hearts} completed the board on the river, Tharp waited a bit before grabbing all his chips and moving all in for 9,200. The hijack thought for about 30 seconds before calling, and Tharp proudly rolled over the {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

"Wow, straight flush. What a hand," someone at the table said enviously.

"Good job dealer," an elated Tharp said and jokingly tossed an orange T100 chip as a toke.
