Straight Flush Trumps Patel
![[user153906]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
A player from early position raised to 425 and the cutoff called. Emil Patel, seated on the button, three-bet to 1,300. Undeterred, the original raiser put in a four-bet to 2,925, and the cutoff folded after spending a minute in the tank. Action was back on Patel, who called.
The 
flop brought more action. After a check from his opponent, Patel bet 2,300. The other player then check-shoved for 13,525. Patel snap-called.

Patel had heaps of outs to fade, but he was out in front. The 
turn changed nothing, but the 
river completed his opponent's straight flush. Patel was left with just 1,875 and is suddenly on life support after a nice start to the day.
