Michaud Flopped the World, then Drawing Dead on Turn
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
There was 540,000 in the middle on a flop of Q?J?9? and Rudolf Fourie from the cutoff fended up all in for 3,030,000 after raising battle and was called by David Michaud on the button.
Both players hit the flop hard. Fourie hit bottom set, while Michaud flopped the nut straight. Fourie was distraught at the sight of the straight, but after two seconds of processing time roared with delight when he saw the Q? hit the turn to give them a full house.
The 6? completed the board and Fourie was in a state of shock and disbelief dragging in the massive pot.
