Max Pescatori and another player got all in on the flop, with the cards reading {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{8-Diamonds}

{3-Spades}

. With the betting action complete, the hands were turned over:

Pescatori: {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

{A-Spades}

Opponent:

{5-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

Pescatori was trailing with his overpair, but did have a flush draw to go along with it. The turn helped him out, though. The {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

peeled off, giving him a bigger two pair and vaulting him back into the lead. His opponent was looking for an eight or nine to make a full house, or a seven to fill his straight draw. The river was a seven, but it was the {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

, giving the Italian Pirate the winning ace-high flush.
