Ray Tang's Rivered Flush Elimnates Opponent

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

With the flop reading {K-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}, Ray Tang and another player found themselves all in. Tang showed the {8-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and needed to make his flush or spike a gutshot straight to overtake the {J-Spades}{J-Clubs} held by his opponent. The {5-Spades} on the turn missed Tang and he needed to hit the river to avoid losing most of his chips. When the dealer peeled the {10-Clubs} on the river, Tang made a flush to eliminate his opponent, building his stack to 9,425 in the process.
