"Queens with the Flush"

Jimmy Fricke
Jimmy Fricke

Limit Hold'em

We caught up to a small blinded Jimmy Fricke just as he was being reraised preflop by a player in the big blind. Both players got to see a flop after Fricke called. With {8-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs} all making an appearance on the flop Fricke backed down and opted to check, his opponent however didn't recoil and put out a bet. Fricke called.

With the {3-Spades} on the turn Fricke checked as did the big blind. A {6-Spades} river brought a raise from Fricke, the big blind called. Fricke announced "queens with the flush" and flipped over {q-Spades}{5-Spades} for indeed a flush as well as a pair of queens. Fricke's opponent mucked.

Pescatori Run Over By Wheel

Level 13

Limit Hold'em

Action opened when a player raised from the cutoff and the player on the button called. Max Pescatori three-bet from the big blind and both players called.

The flop came {2-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Pescatori fired out a bet. The cutoff folded while his opponent on the button made the call. The {4-Diamonds} came on the turn and Pescatori bet once again. His opponent called and saw the {3-Hearts} come on the river. This time Pescatori check-called a bet from his opponent who said "I've got an ace," turning up {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for a straight. Max Pescatori could only shake his head and muck his cards as the pot was pushed to his opponent. He's now sitting with around 88,000.
