Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
This hand was picked up on the flop of J♥K♣2♣. Steven Ritchie bet out for 35,000 from the small blind before Quoc Viet Mai went all-in from late position. Ritchie snap-called to put himself at risk for approximately 150,000.
Steven Ritchie: A♠A♣
Quoc Viet Mai: 7♣5♣
Ritchie was ahead with his aces, but Mai had the flush draw with two cards to go.
Mai did not have to wait long as he spiked his flush on the turn when the 6♣ peeled. However, Ritchie was not down and out as another club would give him a higher flush to double up.
Unfortunately for Ritchie, the river was a red card as the 4♦ peeled to eliminate Ritchie on the bubble.
