Thai Ha Loses Flush Over Flush on the River: 3rd for $213,500
Thai Ha has followed Ivan Leow almost immediately to the rail after a big pot vs. Wai Leong Chan. Cutoff Ha limp-called button Chan’s preflop raise with [Jh9h] (Chan held [AhKh]) to see a flop of [8sTh7c]. Both players checked (Ha first to act with a flopped nut straight).
The turn: [6h]. Out led Ha for 550,000, called by Chan.
The river: [8h]. Both players made a flush; fireworks ensued. Ha led out for 900,000 and Chan moved all-in (covering his opponent). He got a call and expressed understandable surprise as he found himself heading to the payout desk to collect $213,500.
