Smallest Flush Pays Off For Rochford
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Michael O'Grady opened from under the gun with a raise to 2,000. Paul Rochford called a few seats over as did Tim Marsters on the button. The big blind called as well so it was four ways to a flop.
The flop was 
and all four players checked to see the 
on the turn. There, all four players checked again and the 
came on the river, putting four clubs on the board. Action checked to the button on the river and there, Marsters put out a bet of 3,000. The big blind folded as did O'Grady, but Rochford didn't release. He called.
Marsters showed down his 
for king-high, but Rochford had him beat with 
for the smallest flush, so he would take down the pot to approach 100,000 chips.
