Flush Over Flush for Jackson
Level 1
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
In a blind versus blind battle, two players saw the 9♦7♥9♥2♥ turn and before checking, Boban Zhivkovikj said, "Just so you know nine-seven is my birthday."
Harvey Jackson stayed silent while firing out a bet of 30,000 into the pot of about 35,000.
"Oh, maybe it is your birthday," Zhivkovikj replied as he tossed in a call.
The 4♠ completed the board on the river and Zhivkovikj checked once again. Jackson flung 85,000 into the middle, which had Zhivkovikj talking aloud again. "I have the worst possible flush, but I don't think I can fold."
After a couple of seconds, Zhivkovikj tossed in a call and rolled his 4♥3♥ face-up. Jackson tabled A♥8♥ for the nut flush and the dealer pushed the pot his way.
