After that card hit the board Minh Lee backed off and checked the action to Negreanu, who was sitting with top pair and a straight draw. He wanted to find out here he stood, so he made a bet of $8,000 which Booth quickly called. Minh Lee saw that his small pair wasn’t any good and mucked out of the hand. The river card was the 8h, improving Negreanu’s hand to a straight. Once again he came out betting, this time throwing out $16,000 in chips into Booth’s straight flush.

Booth raised Negreanu back another $30,000, causing Negreanu to immediately say, “I knew you had the flush, I have a straight.” Yukon Brad then said. “I have a straight flush,” even though Negreanu hadn’t folded out yet. Negreanu didn’t seem to believe that Booth had the straight flush, and thought that perhaps his statement was meant to throw him off a bit. Negreanu pondered over the decision for a little while before eventually mucking his straight, and giving the pot of $66,300 to Booth.

You may not play too many straight flushes at Pinnacle Sports Poker for $66,000, but you could certainly hit one of your own if you play enough hands. The odds of hitting one are 1-in-64,974 hands; much more difficult to hit than the 1-in-4,165 hands it takes to hit four of a kind. But you will hit one eventually, and hopefully it pays off for you like it did for “Yukon” Brad Booth.
