Sarkis Gets Instant Service, Stacks Sipavicius
With around 15,000 chips in the pot on a board of Q♥7♠8♥, Aurelijus Sipavicius had fired a bet of 6,000, and Wael Sarkis raised to 13,000. Sipavicius then took his time before he put in a flop three-bet to 25,000, then Sarkis shoved for almost 40,000. Sipavicious only had around 10,000 behind, and didn't immediately call
"Come on, you only have that back and you are tanking," remarked Sarkis . Eventually Sipavicius did call off the remainder of his stack, which left him at risk.
Aurelijus Sipavicius: K♠K♣ 
Wael Sarkis: A♥7♥
Sarkis had a pair plus the nut flush draw and needed to crack the pocket kings of Sipavicius with two cards to come. Fortunately for Sarkis , he only needed one card as the 4♥ turn gave him an unbeatable flush, which left Sipavicius drawing dead. The 4♦ river was just a formality, and Sarkis scooped in the pot as Sipavicius vacated his seat.
