Hold EM; COMMUNITY ACE FLUSH-big arguement

[bigblunts999]

when playing no limit hold em, and the two players have:
1:KQd
2:J10d
the FTR comes:
Ad, 4d, 3d, 8c, 9c
who wins? split pot?

The King plays for the Ace high flush with the bigger kicker.

[Spook]

The best 5 cards play, so:

With a board of


Player 1 has
Player 2 has

So player 1 wins with the higher flush because while they both share the he has the which is the next highest card in the flush.

By the same token if

Player 1 had
Player 2 had

And the board was


Player 2 would win because

beats

the fact that player 1 has a pair no longer applies because you must play the best 5 cards you can.

A friend of mine witnessed recently a hand like this. In a NL game at Borgata, one player had AK,the other had KK. Flop comes K77. Both all-in. Turn is a 7. River is a 7. Player with AK wins. Hell of a beat.

That sounds very similar to the hand during season 1 of WPT. I think it was the Tournament of Champions.

1 guy had KK, the other had A9 and the board had quad 7s.

I remember that...Alan Goerhing vs. [young Russian guy]

I think I saw that episode a few months ago, and IIRC, Goerhing had TT. The flop came 7K7, turn 7 river 7. Goerhing never bet, and if he had had KK with a 7x7 flop, he would have bet his overpair.
