Chris Korres' Upward Climb (Event #16 $400 Big Stack Freezeout)

There were five to see the flop in an unraised pot.  All five checked when the flop came [7s][5c][4c].  The small blind checked the [7d] turn, the big blind bet 4,000. Chris Korres called in the hijack and the small blind also called, the other two players folded.  When the [8c] came on the river, the small blind led out for 9,000.  The big blind called, as did Korres.  The small blind announced, "straight," but didn't show his cards.  The big blind turned over [10c][3c], but Korres turned over [qc][jc] for the higher flush.  Korres took down the pot and is now sitting with 175,000 in chips.  Average is 75,000.
