Rios Gives a Headache to Stroke

In a three-way pot, the flop was J♣2♥K♣ when Shawn Stroke checked in the big blind and a player in middle position bet 9,000. Jorge Rios called in the cutoff and Stroke decided to raise it to 27,000 and after some thought, both the middle position and Rios called.

The turn was the 9♥ and Stroke sent 40,000 in the middle. The middle position folded but Rios made the call.

The 5♣ completed the board and Stroke sent another 40,000. Rios thought about his move and raise it to 180,000. Stroke went deep into the tank and after a few minutes, the clock was called.

Stroke ended up calling at the end of the countdown, but only to muck when Rios tabled A♣4♣ for the nut flush.
