Leon Tsoukernik: A♣A♦9♣6♠
Tony G: A♥A♠10♠9♥
The flop J♦J♥2♥ gave Tony G a flush draw, but there was to be no further help for either player, as the board completed 2♠4♦. Both players chopped the pot.
Tony G and Tsoukernik Back in the Fray
This isn't the first time Tsoukernik has been involved in a notable online poker hand. Back in July 2020, he was involved in a five-way all in on the GGPoker cash game tables. He held J♦10♦ but his four opponents held aces, kings, queens and jacks, with queens flopping a set to win a six-figure pot.
Tony G meanwhile is enjoying a successful return to poker, after winning two events in 2021 at the Super High Roller Series Europe. He resigned from the Lithuanian parliament early last year citing dissatisfaction with a member of the Labor Party.
