Hernandez Drills a Straight Flush vs Peeks

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Roeland Peeks
Roeland Peeks

With Reynel Hernandez forced all in from the big blind for 6,000, Jared Passanante raised to 12,000 from early position before Roeland Peeks three-bet to 35,000 from the hijack. Passanante folded, and the two players tabled their cards, with Hernandez announcing he hadn't even looked at his hand.

Roeland Peeks: AK

Hernandez was in dreadful shape, completely dominated by Peeks' ace-king.

Then the dealer spread the monotone 345 flop. While Peeks remained well ahead with ace-high, Hernandez had a straight flush draw, prompting gasps around the table as players realized something extraordinary could be brewing.

The 6 on the turn completed Hernandez's straight flush, leaving Peeks drawing dead. The entire table, aside from Peeks, erupted in celebration, with cheers and shouts echoing across the room and drawing a crowd from nearby tables eager to see what had happened.

Even the dealer paused for a moment, almost caught up in the chaos, before eventually remembering there was still a river card to deal.

Around 30 seconds later, she put out the meaningless A, improving Peeks to a higher flush than he previously had, but it was little more than salt in the wound against Hernandez's straight flush.
