Peters Runs into Backdoor Flush
Level 8
: 400/800, 800 ante
Three players were on the 
when the action was picked up. Tobias Peters checked from the small blind, another player checked and Thuy Nguyen fired 3,000 from an early position. Peters check-raised to 8,300 and only Nguyen called.
The 
turn saw Peters fire 16,600 and Nguyen called again.
The river was the 
and Peters announced he was all in. Nguyen instantly called for his remaining 35,200.
Peters tabled 
for flopped trips but Nguyen turned up 
for a runner-runner flush, much to Peters' surprise.
"What were you calling on the flop?" Peters laughed.
Nguyen's response was prosaic: "Gamble."
