Flush for Cheong

Level 5 : 400/800, 800 ante

Joseph Cheong faced a raise to 12,500 from Eric Kurtzman on a board of {3-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and called, while the third player in the hand folded.

Kurtzman threw out a bet of 27,000 on the {5-Clubs} river and Cheong quickly called.

"If you have a flush, you're good," Kurtzman said, prompting Cheong to turn over {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} to win the pot.

Someone at the table asked to see Kurtzman's hand, which revealed he had been holding the {a-Diamonds}.
