After Mauro Lupo limped in from under the gun, action folded to Jeremy Joseph on the button, who raised to 36,000. The small blind called the raise before David Saab, in the big blind, reraised to 75,000. That brought the action back to Lupo, who promptly shoved for 457,000 total. Joseph and the small blind folded, but Saab made the call.

Lupo: {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

Saab:

{J-Hearts}

{J-Spades}

The flop came down {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{5-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

to bring Lupo a flush draw. He picked up an inside straight draw to go along with it on the {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

turn.

"Here it comes," said Saab. "The suckout."

Lupo had a pretty big draw going into the river, and hit one of his outs when the {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

hit to fill Lupo's flush.
