Ayoub Flushes; Sawitzki Needs Help

Pete Sawitzki got the rest of his ~75,000 chips into the pot with {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} on a flop of {5-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {7-Clubs}. Steven Ayoub was right there to put him to the test, turning over {J-Clubs} {9-Clubs} for a flush draw with gutshot straight outs too.

The turn was a disaster as Ayoub pulled the {5-Clubs} off the deck, making the flush to pull ahead in the hand. Sawitzki still had outs though, and the {Q-Diamonds} that spiked the river was indeed one of those help cards.

He makes queens full on the last card, winning the pot to double up to 155,000. Ayoub has slipped a bit, but he's still sitting comfortably with a stack of 275,000.
