Just a flush for Marlon

Nali 'Iraqi Nick' Kaselias opened to 800 from the cutoff and was called by Andrew Demetriou and Marlon Goonawardana.

The flop fell {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{A-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

and it was checked round to Kaselias who made it 1,200. Demetriou called before Goonawardana moved all in for 13,400. Kaselias went into the tank before making the call only to be met with another all in reraise; this time from Demetriou.

Kaselias went off in a rant before mucking his cards to see Demetriou had flopped a set holding {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{4-Clubs}

while Goonawardana held {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

for a flush-draw.

The {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

put Goonawardana in the lead, and with no repeat coming from the {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

on the river he trippled to 36,000 as Demetriou slipped to 24,000 in chips.
