Nakache Makes Straight Flush
Level 10
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Elie Nakache raised 50,000 in middle position, Mikhail Volfson called next to act, followed by Lucas Foster in the big blind.
When the 8♥7♥6♥ flop hit the felt, both players checked to Volfson who continued for 65,000. Foster wasted no time getting out of the way and Nakache made the call.
The 4♣ turn was checked through to see the 5♥ on the river. Nakache led for 200,000, putting Volfson in the tank for about 30 seconds before deciding to toss his cards into the muck. Nakache let him know it was a good fold as he tabled A♥9♥ for a straight flush.
