Sternheimer Makes a Flush

Tyler Foran

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.

Connor Richards

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

In a three-way pot on a board of 8♠3♦5♠, action checked to George Wolff on the button and he moved all in for 45,000. The small blind folded and the big blind called with a bigger stack.

George Wolff: A♠10♦6♠4♦ All in
Big Blind: K♠Q♠Q♥7♥

The 6♦ turn didn't change much but the J♦ river gave Wolff a backdoor flush to double up.

"If front door doesn't get there, backdoor does," his opponent groaned.
