Lo Rivers Straight Flush to Crack Aces
Level 8
: 200/400, 50 ante
We're not sure how the action unfolded, but we do know that Wei Lin Lo got his last 6,000 or so all in preflop from the small blind and was in dire straits against Henry Szmelcer in the big.
Szmelcer: 
Lo: 
It appeared Lo had picked the wrong time to shove, but he got a big sweat when the 
flop delivered him an open-ended straight flush draw. the 
turn didn't complete it, but as you've no doubt figured out from the title, the 
river did.
The entire table, including Szmelcer but especially Lo, seemed flabbergasted by the hand, and Lo summed it all up by revealing that it was the first time he'd ever made a straight flush.
