I was in 2nd chip position with about 2500 chips. Chip leader had about 7000 chips. Small stack had about 500. Blinds are 100/200.

I got into a situation where I had top 2-pair on the turn, 1500 chips left, and about 2000 chips in the pot. I correctly assumed I had the best hand on a 2-suited board with no straights or straight draws, and pushed in.

I was called for an otherwise blank flush draw on the river card, which came in and I lost the hand.

I was out in 3rd, but if I'd won the hand, I would have doubled to about 5000 chips and chip leader would have been down to about 4500.

Now it seems to me when this guy's flush came in, he would've set me in anyway, and I would've called with top two pair, 3-suited board or no.

So maybe this was inescapable in any case?
