Luck of the Irish
Nível 10
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
With 6,000 in the pot and a flop of 
, Dermot Blain, who celebrated his 31st birthday yesterday, checked from the big blind and JC Alvarado bet 3,400 from middle position. Blain responded with a check-raise to 10,000, and then called off the 12,000 he had behind after Alvarado three-bet all in.
Blain: 
Alvarado: 
Alvarado was technically ahead with his ace-queen, but Blain was drawing to two live cards plus a flush draw. The 
turn made Blain's draw to a king irrelevant, but it didn't matter as it'd be the 
on the river that'd give him the flush and the win.
