Erkut Yilmaz Rivers a Straight Flush

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

The PokerNews Live Reporting team was just informed that Erkut Yilmaz stacked a player with a straight flush.

Yilmaz reportedly raised preflop from the cutoff, the player in the small blind three-bet to 123,000, and Yilmaz called. The flop came {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, and the small blind check-called a bet from Yilmaz.

The turn was the {8-Diamonds}, and the small blind moved all in. Yilmaz called, and the two players tabled their hands. Yilmaz held {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for two pair and a ten-high flush draw, and the small blind held {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds} for a pair of nines and a jack-high flush draw.

When the {7-Diamonds} fell on the river, Yilmaz hit the only diamond in the deck that kept his hand best, and this pot put him among the top chip stacks.
