McNabola Nabs Flush, Survives

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

"All in and a call."

So said the dealer at the feature table just now. The all-in player was John McNabola, his entire stack of 672,000 at risk with {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. The call had come from Brian Phelon, sitting to McNabola's right, who had his opponent covered when he tabled his {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}.

The flop came {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, and after that king arrived McNabola tapped the felt as though to acknowledge he'd accepted that the end of his Main Event run had arrived.

But the turn was the {7-Diamonds} to provide McNabola a flush draw. Then came the river… the {J-Diamonds}! The table reacted audibly at the sight of all the diamonds on board, and McNabola suddenly appeared a lot more comfortable in his seat after having gone from near-elimination to a stack challenging that of leader Ben Reason.
