How Could Blackwell Miss?

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

In a three-way pot with the flop reading K105, Michael Cassiday-Maloney led out with a bet of 500 in the small blind. Jarrod Blackwell just called and the button raised to 1,500. Cassiday-Maloney folded but Blackwell stuck around for the 8 on the turn.

Blackwell check-called another bet of 2,000 from his opponent and the 7 completed the board. Blackwell led out with a bet of 6,500 this time and his opponent relinquished his cards. Blackwell did the table a favor and showed his QJ for a rivered flush.

"How could I miss?" He rhetorically asked.
