La Ronde Makes Flush to Double Up

Matt Warburton

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Andrew Christoforou raised to 2,500 from under the gun, David La Ronde called on the button and the big blind also called.

The flop was dealt 2?9?Q?. Action checked to Christoforou, who bet 4,100. Laronde then raised to 15,000, the player in the big blind folded and Christoforou moved all in. La Ronde called for 42,600 and was at risk as players flipped their cards.

David La Ronde: J?7?
Andrew Christoforou: Q?9?

La Ronde had a flush draw and backdoor straight draw and Christoforou had flopped two pair. The turn came the 4? and the river was the 10?. La Ronde made his flush on the turn and won the pot to more than double his stack.
