[user92162]

Flopping a straight flush is a rare achievement. Getting paid for it? An entirely different kettle of fish altogether. However Saidal Wardak has managed to achieve both.

Wardak's {k-Hearts}

got the perfect flop when it came {q-Hearts}

, and he was even more excited when his opponent led 10,000 into him, Wardak calmly flat called to go to the turn. The turn {5-Hearts}

saw both players check and the river was the {4-Spades}

.

Wardak's opponent thought for a few moments before pushing his remaining stack, apporximately 60,000, into the middle. Wardak couldn't believe his eyes and made the call. His opponent flipping over just a top pair {k-Spades}
