Pusting Gets the Perfect River
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
A player in early position raised to 500 and got called by a player in middle position and Alex Pusting in the small blind leading to a Q♦6♣9♥ flop.
Pusting and the early position player checked to see the middle position player toss out a bet of 1,000. Pusting called and the early position player folded to bring out the 3♦ on the turn.
Action checked through to the 10♦ river and Pusting decided to lead with a bet of 5,000. The middle position player quickly called and showed the 10♥10♣ for a rivered set, which was second-best to the 5♦6♦ flush of Pusting.
His opponent said, "That's the only card in the deck that gets you paid off with a flush," as Pusting collected the pot.
