Stroke Gets Paid With the Nuts
Level 4
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
On the tail end of a J♥5♥9♠3♥2♥ board, Shawn Stroke bet the pot for 18,400. His only remaining opponent by then sigh-called and Stroke tabled the A♥6♥4♠3♠ for the ace-high flush, which also blocked any possible straight flush.
"Everyone thinks I am bluffing" Stroke said while two other players on the table remarked they had flushes. Even the caller exposed the K♥9♥.
"Because you bluff a lot," another player replied before Stroke concluded "don't worry, I will give back some later" to the player that had just paid him off.
