Siegel Makes a Flush
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Esther Riordan opened 3,000 under the gun and Brendon Herrick called next to act, followed by Richard Kaplan in the cutoff, David Siegel in the small blind and George Antonakos in the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of A♦5♠4♠ and the action checked to Kaplan as he fired 8,000 into the middle. Both Siegel and Herrick made the call.
The 7♠ fell on the turn, and Siegel took the lead, firing 11,000 into the middle. Herrick stuck around with a call while Kaplan got out of the way.
The dealer dropped the 8♠ on the river, and both players tapped the table. Siegel quickly rolled A♠J♠ for the ace-high flush and Herrick mucked his hand.
