Who Has the Best Flush?

Nível 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

In the cutoff, Evgenii Ushakov opened, and he received calls from both players in the blinds.

The dealer revealed a flop of 4♣3♣K♣, and Ushakov wasted no time making a continuation bet of 1,500. The small blind folded, but Aleksandr Pustovoi in the big blind check-called.

Ushakov and Pustovoi checked on the turn 8♣ and on the river 2♣, which completed a flush on the board.

Pustovoi had a better flush than that, as he revealed 6♣3♠. Amused by the situation, Ushakov showed K♥4♥ for a pair he hit on the flop, but it was worthless after the river.

Three-handed on a flop of 9♣4♦K♥, Ruslan Nasirov bet 2,200 from under the gun and Georgy Tsikaridze then raised to 5,000 in early position.

Action folded back to Nasirov who called to see the Q♦ turn. Nasirov checked over to Tsikaridze who tossed in another 5,000.

Nasirov again called and the river came the J♣. He checked once more, and this time Tsikaridize tapped the felt and showed 9♦9♥ for a flopped set.

Nasirov mucked K♦7♦ as Tsikaridzie took the pot.

From middle position, Alexandre Moreau opened to 1,000. He was called three times : by Timo Laasonen in the hijack, Yuriy Kim in the cutoff and Paul Mcloughlin in the big blind.

Moreau bet 2,200 on the flop 6♣2♥9♥. But this time, only Kim decided to call. Then the A♦ came on the turn, and Moreau fired a second barrel of 3,500. But it was too much for Kim, who folded.

The turn came the 6♦ and Rakhymzhanov slid his entire stack forward, a bet of around 17,500. O'Donnell gave it some thought before tossing his cards away.

At Dominik Panka's table, Ludovic Periaux under the gun raised to 1,100, then saw Kemal Aslan in the hijack 3-bet to 3,500.

Periaux eventually called to find the flop 2♦10♦6♥, where he check-called a bet of 2,200.

On the turn 7♠, Aslan asked for more, putting two blue chips worth 5,000 each in front of him. Periaux took a few seconds to make a decision, and eventually folded.

Menicanin Picks Off Senno With the Better Ace

Nível 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Three-handed on a flop of A♥2♥9♣, Mario Menicanin bet 4,000 from early position and Emile Baroudi called before Fredrico Senno raised to 10,000 in the small blind.

Menicanin called, while Baroudi got out of the way leaving them heads-up to the J♦ turn. Both players checked and Senno then led out for 9,500 on the 10♠ river.

Menicanin quickly called and Senno showed A♦4♦. Menicanin, though, turned over A♣K♣ to win the pot with his king-kicker.

"Made it cheap for you," Senno told him.

"Yeah, really cheap," Menicanin replied as he dragged in the big pot.
