From 97% Favorite on the Flop to a Loser on the River

Level 19 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Koray Aldemir raised to 100,000 under the gun with the {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Alex Foxen defended the big blind with the {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}.

The {5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} flop gave both players a flush draw but Aldemir, who also flopped a pair. In fact, he was a 97% favorite while Foxen would only win 3% of the time.

Foxen check-called a bet of 80,000 and then led out for 235,000 on the {j-Spades} turn. Aldemir called and the {8-Clubs} peeled off on the river to give Foxen a straight.

He burned a time extension before moving all in and Aldemir, who had 970K, released his hand.
