Ideal Morina

We walked over to Table 48 as Kurt Lichtman was announcing all-in after a flop of A♦3♦4♥

Ideal Morina made the call and had Lichtman covered. Both players made massive hands on the flop.

Lichtman: 2♦5♦ (wheel straight; flush draw)
Morina: 4♦4♠ (Set of fours)

The Q♦ on the turn gave Lichtman a flush, but it might as well have been the Q♣ because it did nothing to change the number of outs with which Morina could still win the hand. If the board paired on the river, he would make a full house that beat both the straight and flush of Morina.

River: A♥

Lichtman left the table wishing everyone a good night, and Morina chipped up to just over 100,000.
