Flush over Straight on the River
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Dragos Anton raised to 65,000 from early position, and he was only called by the chip lead, Eduard Norel, from the big blind.
Anton bet 75,000 on a board of Q?A?K? and Norel check-called. Then after Norel checked again the turn 3?, Anton fired a big second barrel of 250,000.
Norel check-called once again to find 10? on the river. But this time, Norel lead out with a bet of 350,000. Anton threw a chip in front of him to call with J?J? for a straight. But Norel hit the nut flush on the river with A?9? to win this pot.
