Full House Crushes the Nut Flush
Andrei Kaigorodtsev opened the action with a raise to 400 from early position, with Ivan Bryksin calling from middle position. Bogdan Ionescu, on the button, decided to three-bet to 1,800, prompting a four-bet from Samuel Mullur in the big blind to 5,300. Only Ionescu made the call.
On the J?3?7? flop, Mullur continued his aggression with a 7,200 bet, and Ionescu called.
The action slowed on the 3? turn when Mullur checked. Ionescu bet 6,000, and after some thought, Mullur called.
On the 5? river, Mullur checked once again. Ionescu grabbed a stack of chips and pushed them into the middle, effectively putting Mullur all-in. Mullur took a moment, then made the call, risking his tournament life. Mullur revealed A?K? for the nut flush, but Ionescu showed J?J? for a full house, sending Mullur packing to the registration desk for another shot.
