Win With the Ace-High

Dean Hamrick raised to 140,000 from late position, Gert Andersen called from the cutoff, and Mauro Lupo did the same from the small blind. The flop came {7-Spades} {K-Spades} {8-Clubs} and, after Lupo checked, Hamrick bet 325,000. Andersen folded, Lupo called, and the {3-Diamonds} came on the turn. Lupo check-called Hamrick's bet, and when the {K-Clubs} came on the river and Lupo checked again, Hamrick decided to check behind as well.

It turned out his {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} was good against Lupo's {A-Spades} {5-Spades} and busted flush draw. He's now up to 2.55 million while Lupo slipped to 1.475 million.
