Nakache Makes Straight Flush
Level 10
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Elie Nakache raised 50,000 in middle position, Mikhail Volfson called next to act, followed by Lucas Foster in the big blind.
When the 8?7?6? flop hit the felt, both players checked to Volfson who continued for 65,000. Foster wasted no time getting out of the way and Nakache made the call.
The 4? turn was checked through to see the 5? on the river. Nakache led for 200,000, putting Volfson in the tank for about 30 seconds before deciding to toss his cards into the muck. Nakache let him know it was a good fold as he tabled A?9? for a straight flush.
