Sarah Herzali
Sarah Herzali

Daniel Barriocanal raised on the button to 360,000 and Sarah Herzali in the big blind defended.

The flop came K?J?Q? which checked through to the 9? on the turn. Herzali check-called a bet of 650,000 from Barriocanal and they went to the river.

The 7? landed and Herzali checked once more and unfortunately for her, Barriocanal checked behind. Herzali announced she'd rivered a straight flush.

"You win!" Barriocnal laughed as he mucked his cards.

Sure enough, Herzali showed the 10?8? for a rivered straight flush.
