Howard Gone in Less Than Ten
Level 6
: 400/800, 800 ante
The flop read 
with 7,100 in the middle already.
Robert Howard checked in the big blind and Daniel Hicks led out for 6,000 from the middle position. Howard responded with a shove and the dealer confirmed he had 36,100 when Hicks asked. Hicks contemplated his options for a while and then opted to make the call with the bigger stack.
"Flush draw?" Hicks asked and Howard nodded.
Robert Howard: 
Daniel Hicks: 
Howard was sitting on a flush draw indeed while Hicks had flopped a pair of eights but also a gutshot to a straight.
The rest of the board was completed with the 
on the turn and the 
on the river to seal the perfect start for Daniel Hicks and send Robert Howard to the rail.
