Overton Backs Into Flush to Double

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante

Steve O'Dwyer moved all in and Aaron Overton called all in for less. Everyone else had folded. Overton held the {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and O'Dwyer the {A-Clubs}{7-Hearts}.

The flop came down {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and O'Dwyer picked up the lead with a pair of sevens. Overton was the shorter stack and at risk of elimination if he couldn't find help on the turn or river.

The turn brought the {4-Diamonds} and Overton picked up a flush draw. The river completed that flush draw with the {9-Diamonds} and Overton sprung from his chair to high five his railbirds sitting in the front row.

"Nine of diamonds, baby! Exactly the card I was thinking of! Nine of diamonds! That's my card!" he yelled as he celebrated with his friends before going back to collect his chips.

Overton was all in for about 350,000 and O'Dwyer was knocked back to 160,000.
