McEwan Sends Two to the Rail
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
The hand was picked up on the flop, with Alan Hamza already all in preflop in early position.
The board read 2♥10♥J♥, and Alan Hamza, who had only 20,000 chips left in the big blind, donated them to the pot against Matthew McEwan, the small blind.
Alan Hamza: K♠J♠
Shawn Stern: A♣10♦
Matthew McEwan: 8♥7♥
McEwan had flopped a flush and held a straight flush draw. Stern had a pair of tens, but needed running cards to win. Hamza was in a similar boat with top pair.
Those boats sank with the 4♠ turn, which rendered the 2♦ river meaningless.
