Drief Flops the World to Eliminate Opponent

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a board reading {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades} Idris Drief from middle position was involved in a heads-up pot with a player in late position. Drief checked to his opponent, who moved all in. Wasting no time, Drief made the call.

Late Position Player: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Idris Drief: {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

Drief had flopped an absolute monster, with a straight flush draw to go along with his made nut straight. By contrast his opponent, who was at risk, was drawing dead to an improbable chop. The {5-Diamonds} turn sealed the deal for Drief with the meaningless {k-} river rubbing some salt into the wound of the eliminated player.
