Hand Makes "The Best Hand"

Fintan Hand opened from early position to 20,000. Dongwoo Ko called in middle position and Farukh Tach called from the hijack. Nicholas Petitti completed in the big blind.

The four players checked the 4♦2♥7♦ flop and Petitti checked to Hand on the 5♦ turn. Hand bet 25,000, Ko folded, but Tach and Petitti called.

Petitti then checked again on the 6♦ river, which brought in an open-ended four-liner to a straight flush. Hand bet 20,000 and Tach folded. Petitti went into the tank before making the call.

"The best hand you can have" said Fintan as he tabled A♥8♦ for an eight high straight flush.

Petitti showed the A♦ before saying "Luckily I didn't raise."

Hand gave him props and said "Fair play," as he stacked up the chips.
