Mariano Poker vs The Nut Flush
In a wild hand on Hustler Casino Live on May 13th, Mariano Poker looked like he had seen a ghost after he felted Andy who had a nut flush. This happened during a $100/$200/$200 game.
Mariano opened the pot to $500 Under The Gun with K♦️10♦️ and the action folded to the Button who made a 3-bet of $2,000. After another fold in Small Blind, Andy in Big Blind with A♦️4♦️ called and when the action arrived back at Mariano, he made a 4-bet of $9,000. The Button player as well as Andy called and they went three ways to the flop with a pot of $27.3k.
9♦️J♦️Q♦️ hit the board on the flop, amazingly making Andy’s nut flush vs Mariano’s straight flush, which was the absolute nuts. All three players checked and the turn came down 3♥️. Andy checked over to Mariano Poker who put $8,000 on the table which in turn got the Button player to lay down his cards. Andy then raised the bet to $35,000 which Mariano called and they went heads-up to the river with the pot at $97.3k.
The river put a fourth diamond on the board and Andy put down $120,000. Mariano instantly shoved all-in, and Andy immediately called and showed him the ace. Gasping from on-lookers and head-shaking from Mariano in what looked to be disbelief of what had just happened, coming from playing $1/$2 games a couple of years ago to winning $600k+ pots. Andy later said that it was one of the worst calls he had ever made as it could not have been a bluff.
