Steel Wheel

$500 + $60 NL

Just before break Adina Winston (New York, NY) extends her chip lead when she calls an all-in bet (40k) on a board of 2♣ 3♣ 4♣. Her opponent tables K♣ 7♣ for a flopped flush, while Winston has A♣ 10♠ for the nut flush draw along with a straight flush possibility.

Turn: 5♠
River: 5♣

Winston hits the straight flush, AKA the steel wheel, to taker her stack to 188k.

Other big stacks:

Ed Jordan (Belle Mead, NJ) 160k
Keith Crowder (Elkins Park, PA) 135k
Ted Geier (Sunnyside, NY) 130k

54 players (36 cash) remain with an average stack of 76k.

Level 13 (1,200/2,400/300 ante) is up next.
