The partypoker LIVE series in the Bahamas is in full swing. With an assortment of high-stakes buy-in tournaments, including the $250,000 Super High Roller Bowl Bahamas, cash games of absurd stakes are likely to break out.
At least one nosebleed cash game was running in the Caribbean and it brought one of the worst beats that poker has seen in quite some time.
Owner of U.K. casino Dusk Till Dawn and partner of partypoker Rob Yong posted a video of a $400,000 pot to his Twitter feed Tuesday afternoon. The video showed a completed board in which a player with Q-9 got all in on a Q 9 9 flop against another player who flopped an open-ended straight flush draw with J10.
The players decided to run it twice. On the first runout, the 8 hit on the river. On the second board, the K came on the turn, giving the underdog both halves of the pot with a straight flush over a full house.
Yong didn’t mention who was in the game or which players had each hand, but Jean-Robert Bellande confirmed he was there when he shared footage of the same hand from a different angle later that day.
You can watch the video below:

I think the bet size on the turn is the true tell that he has a straight flush. Ruane can be pretty sure after flop play that Obst has a set or sth like QJ or nut flush draw. Obst on the other hand also knows that Ruane is on a flush draw plenty of times after that line of play. A hand consists of five cards, but only a straight, flush, full house and straight flush use all five cards. However, with hands where not all of the cards are required to make the hand, such as three of a kind or two pair, the remaining cards can be decisive. A flush is any five cards of the same suit. An ace-high flush is higher (and beats) a king-high flush, regardless of the other cards in each hand. When two or more players hold a flush, the hands are compared card-to-card until one hand wins (the highest next card wins, such as.
Jul 16, 2009 A full house does beat 5 of the same suit - called a flush - unless the 5 are in order, ie 5,6,7,8,9 in which it is a straight flush. If the 5 are the 10, J, Q, K, A then it is a royal flush. In Poker full house is superiour to all hands except quads ( four of a kind e.g four aces ), straight flush ( sequence with same suit e.g A2345 of spades ), royal flush (AKQJ10 of any of the four suits ) and ofcourse a bigger full house ( e.g AAAKK is better than KKKAA ).
