Emerson Flops the Nuts
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Picking up the action on the turn, Eric Emerson in middle position was involved in a hand with Brook Lyter on the button. With the board reading 9?A?K?10?, Emerson bet out 7,000 and received a call.
Once the 6? river completed the board, Emerson thought for a moment before announcing all in. Lyter had the effective stack and went deep into the tank as he mulled over a decision for his tournament life. After a few minutes, a player not involved in the hand called for the clock but as soon as he did so Lyter made the call, turning over A?K? for top two. It was no good, however, as Emerson held Q?J? for the flopped nut flush with the royal redraw to deal a fatal blow to Lyter.
