Hansen Flushed

Mighty Thor Hansen wasn't so mighty at showdown in a recent pot. Things started out with 5 limpers seeing an unraised flop of {q-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs}. Hansen was on the button and fired out 700 after everyone else checked. Two players called to see the {2-Hearts} come on the turn. They both checked, allowing Hansen to fire a second bet. He made the price of the river 1,600. Only one of the players was willing to put that much in.

When the river came a third spade, {7-Spades}, Hansen's opponent led out for 6,000. Hansen made the call, then mucked and tumbled to 23,000 when his opponent showed a flush, {6-Spades}{8-Spades}.
