Shabani’s Flush Wins Against Sokolovsky’s Trips

Sava Krink

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Genc Shabani started things off with a raise to 500, and Alexander Sokolovsky called. But Mallory Frere had other ideas and three-bet to 2,000, which both players also called.

On the flop of A?10?7?, Shabani checked, Sokolovsky bet 1,500, and both Frere and Shabani called.

The action slowed down on the turn with the 6? and the river A?, as all players checked, leading to a showdown.

Sokolovsky revealed A?K? for trips aces, but Shabani surprised everyone with 9?8? for a flush. Frere's cards were tossed into the muck, and Shabani took down the pot.
