Mendoza Flushes Opponent
Level 7
: 300/600, 100 ante
James Mendoza bet the 
turn out of the big blind for 2,000 and his sole opponent raised to 5,000, which Mendoza called. The 
river was checked by both players and Mendoza immediately sighed, then flashed 
for a flush. His opponent was equally frustrated but for different reasons, as he mucked the 
for trips fives.
Mendoza moved up to two times the starting stack, which Jun Obara also has on the same table. However, Obara needed three bullets on Day 1c alone to do so and doubled minutes after sitting down with a fresh stack.
