I know there are three possible two card holdings that would make a straight flush, but my opponent is supposed to go broke here with the nut flush, isn't he?

Sky_Dave

Yeah, he is. Personally I would have reraised on the turn. That way, more in the pot to shoot at on the river ad you get more of his stack in. He's probably sat there thinking you have the Kh or something anyway, so I think he's done something magic to avoid going broke!

MereNovice

Yep, at the time, I thought that just calling the raise on the turn would show a degree of weakness and that if he really did have the Ah (and I took his min-raise to indicate that) that it would all go in on a non-pairing river card anyway.
With the benefit of hindsight, I guess I should have shoved the river, if he was calling my raise, he was almost certainly calling an all-in.

Oh well, we live and learn.
