Aljawhari Straight Flushed Out by Brooks
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Patrick Brooks opened to 6,000 in the cutoff, and promptly faced a three-bet to 18,000 from Rayan Aljawhari on the button. The action folded back to Brooks, who called.
On a 2♠3♣A♦ flop, Brooks check-called a bet of 12,000 before the 5♠ turn checked through.
The Q♠ completed the board, and, after taking stock of his opponent's stack, which was 95,500, Brooks moved all in. Aljawhari called, putting himself at risk, and quickly received bad news. Brooks tabled A♠8♠ for the rivered nut flush, and Aljawhari flipped over his Q♣4♠, showing he had turned the wheel straight.
