Coleman Hits the Turn, Phua Gets There on the River
Level 14
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
David Coleman raised to 40,000 in the hijack and Paul Phua called in the small blind.
Coleman continued for 80,000 on the A♠9♠8♦ flop and Phua called. Both players then checked the J♠ turn.
The river was the 8♠ and Coleman bet another 190,000. Phua took a minute before calling as Coleman showed Q♥10♠ for a turned straight that improved to a flush on the river. Phua, though, had A♦Q♠ for a better flush to win the pot.
