Set for a Flush

Steven Goosen raised to 7,200 from middle position before calling a reraise to 18,000 from J R Reiss on the button. The flop came down {4-Spades} {9-Spades} {5-Hearts}.

Goosen checked to face a bet of 19,000 from Reiss, which he raised up to 45,000. Reiss then moved all in over the top and Goosen called. Goosen tabled {5-Spades} {5-Clubs} for a flopped set. As Reiss turned over {A-Spades} {10-Spades} for the nut flush draw, Goosen said "Now that's not what I wanted to see".

The turn came {7-Spades} to bring the flush for Reiss. Goosen would need to fill up as the river came {J-Hearts}. No good for Goosen as he sees the 336,000 pot go to Reiss. Goosen down to 75,000.
