Viva le Vivek

Some preflop action in this PLH hand had already built up a pot when the flop came {4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades}. An early position player checked, and Vivek Rajkumar made a hefty bet of 9,250. The third player in the hand called, then the early position player folded, showing pocket jacks as he did.

"Pure gambling," said the late position player as he turned over {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. Followed by "Awwww!" as he saw Rajkumar's hand -- {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. The {2-Hearts} came on the turn, giving Rajkumar the higher flush and making the river inconsequential.

After eliminating that player and claiming that nice-sized pot, Rajkumar is now up over 20,000 in chips.
