Sabas Ferrer-Ferrer raised preflop, and Ernest Bush called. The flop came Js10h8h, Ferrer-Ferrer bet, and Bush called.

The turn card paired the board with the Jh, and both players checked.

The river card was an Ax, Ferrer-Ferrer bet 20,000, Bush raised to 65,000, and Ferrer-Ferrer three-bet all in. Bush snap-called all in with 9h7h for the nuts — a jack-high straight flush in hearts.

Ferrer-Ferrer turned over AxAx for a full house, aces full of jacks, but without a bad beat jackpot at stake, it’s not worth much when your opponent has a straight flush.

Ernest Bush  –  230,000  (383 bb)
Sabas Ferrer-Ferrer  –  40,000  (67 bb)
