Sternheimer Makes a Flush
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Five players limped in to see the K♥Q♥7♥ flop, and the action quickly checked around to see the 9♥ on the turn.
Rostyslav Sabishchenko checked to Philip Sternheimer who fired 6,000, forcing Nacho Barbero, the button and Sabishchenko to fold while the cutoff made the call.
When the 9♠ landed on the river, Sternheimer fired another bet of 8,000 into the middle. The cutoff tanked for about two minutes before deciding on a call.
"How high is your flush?" asked Sternheimer. "I have a flush."
Sternheimer's opponent was silent, and Sternheimer tossed his A♠9♣8♥6♥ face up to earn the pot.
