Blenkarn's Flush is Better

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

We saw small-stakes tournament grinder Jeff Blenkarn with a pile of chips moved to the front of his stack, and the board reading {9-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}.

His opponent tanked for a minute before moving all in, and Blenkarn stood while announcing "alright, I call."

Blenkarn's opponent tabled the {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a flush on the river, but Blenkarn's {K-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} was the winner. After flopping an open-ended straight flush draw, turning a pair to take the lead, and rivering his flush, Blenkarn's opponent was dismayed to see that he had made second-best hand.
