Meragal Gets Paid With Nut Flush
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Maduka Meragal opened to 65,000 in the cutoff and Arunas Sapitavicius defended out of the big blind.
Sapitavicius checked on the flop of 3♦K♦6♦ and Meragal continued for 85,000. Sapitavicius called. Sapitavicius then led out for 40,000 on the 4♥ turn and Meragal called.
The Q♠ river completed the board and Sapitavicius checked. Meragal used a time bank and bet 430,000. Sapitavicius called, only to muck when his opponent showed the stone nuts with A♦9♦ for an ace-high flush.
"Is that the first time you've used a time bank?" asked Mike Watson.
"Yep!" replied Meragal.
