Straight Flush Over Straight Flush: Andy Philachack Eliminated by Don Cho

With the board showing on the turn, Andy Philachack is all in with for an ace-high flush with an open-ended straight-flush draw.

Don Chio turns over for a higher gutshot straight-flush draw, and Philachack needs to fade just one out to stay alive.

The river card is — the !

Philachack rivers a nine-high straight flush, but it’s no good as Chio rivers a jack-high straight flush to win the pot. Philachack is stunned but still smiling for a while, seemingly shocked at being eliminated after making a straight flush.

Don Chio  –  115,000  (144 bb)
