Maxime Taldir

Level 2 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Three-way on a board of 3♥J♣2♣, Amjad Nader on the button had a bet of 10,000 in front of him when the player in the big blind raised to 35,000 and Georgios Skarparis under the gun jammed for 122,500.

Nader eventually called, as well as the big blind who moved all in on the A♦ turn. Nader called with his last 19,000 chips.

Georgios Skarparis: Q♦Q♣ All in
Amjad Nader: K♣7♣ All in
Big blind: J♠3♠

The big blind was in the lead with two pair against Skarparis' queens and Nader's flush draw. But the 6♣ came on the river to complete Nader's flush. He almost tripled up, while Skarparis was eliminated.

After an open by the player under the gun, Nabil Matta defended from the big blind to find a flop of K♥10♣4♣.
