Photo: Kyle Julius flopped a six-high straight flush to eliminate Nicolas Fraioli.
Kyle Julius raises to 25,000 from the cutoff and Nicolas Fraioli calls from the small blind. The flop comes [5c3c2c] and both players check.
The turn brings the [5s] and Fraioli bets 37,000, leaving around 100,000 behind. Julius thinks for less than a minute, then calls. Before the dealer can pull in chips and deal the river, Fraioli tells Julius, "I am all-in in the dark."
"I call in the dark," Julius says. He then turns over [4c6c] for a flopped straight flush.
"Oh my God," Fraoli bemoans. He then shows his hand–[KcJc] for a flopped king-high flush. The river is an inconsequential [As] and Fraioli is eliminated.
Kyle Julius – 1,775,000 (148 BBs)
Nicolas Fraioli – eliminated in 22nd place ($23,884)
