Wieckenberg Bests Achille Flush Over Flush, Stroke Laments Lost Opportunity
Level 3
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
On a flop of 5?K?4?, Shawn Stroke bet 2,500 from the big blind and Jacopo Achille called under the gun. Jan Wieckenberg then raised to 7,500 in the hijack.
Stroke called, but Achille put in a reraise to 27,000. Wieckenberg called, while Stroke got out of the way. The turn came the 5? and Achille checked over to Wieckenberg, who bet 12,000.
Achille called and the 6? fell on the river. Both players then checked and Wieckenberg showed A?3? for the nut flush, while Achille had 10?9?.
"I win this pot. I folded king-five on the flop. Why did you reraise, man," Stroke lamented as he would've made a full house on the turn.
