Win Percentage:

• Greenwood: 0%

Despite Greenwood hitting his flush on the river, he is drawing dead, because Ivey’s quads are unbeatable here. From Greenwood’s perspective, his hand looks great—flushes are rarely losers—but this is one of those brutal cooler situations in poker where the second-best hand walks right into the monster.

It’s a clear win for Ivey, and Greenwood’s hesitation is futile—he’s getting trapped by a monster hand.
