Sternheimer Makes a Flush
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Five players limped in to see the K?Q?7? flop, and the action quickly checked around to see the 9? on the turn.
Rostyslav Sabishchenko checked to Philip Sternheimer who fired 6,000, forcing Nacho Barbero, the button and Sabishchenko to fold while the cutoff made the call.
When the 9? landed on the river, Sternheimer fired another bet of 8,000 into the middle. The cutoff tanked for about two minutes before deciding on a call.
"How high is your flush?" asked Sternheimer. "I have a flush."
Sternheimer's opponent was silent, and Sternheimer tossed his A?9?8?6? face up to earn the pot.
