Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Daniel Barriocanal raised on the button to 360,000 and Sarah Herzali in the big blind defended.

The flop came K♠J♠Q♥ which checked through to the 9♠ on the turn. Herzali check-called a bet of 650,000 from Barriocanal and they went to the river.

The 7♠ landed and Herzali checked once more and unfortunately for her, Barriocanal checked behind. Herzali announced she'd rivered a straight flush.

"You win!" Barriocnal laughed as he mucked his cards.

Sure enough, Herzali showed the 10♠8♠ for a rivered straight flush.
