Hand #237: Backdoor Flush-Over-Flush Sends Koppel Soaring
Level 31
: 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Hand #237: Jared Koppel raised to 380,000 on the button and Roman Korenev defended his big blind. The flop fell 
and Korenev check-called 250,000 from Koppel.
On the turn 
, Korenev check-called a second bet of 575,000 from Koppel to see the 
river complete a possible backdoor flush. Korenev checked, Koppel bet 2,290,000, Korenev check-raised all in and Koppel snap-called for 7,100,000 total.
Korenev showed 
for a backdoor jack-high flush, only to come up second best to Koppel's 
for the nut flush. After the stacks were counted out, it was Koppel who regained the lead.
