Full House Crushes the Nut Flush
Andrei Kaigorodtsev opened the action with a raise to 400 from early position, with Ivan Bryksin calling from middle position. Bogdan Ionescu, on the button, decided to three-bet to 1,800, prompting a four-bet from Samuel Mullur in the big blind to 5,300. Only Ionescu made the call.
On the J♠3♦7♠ flop, Mullur continued his aggression with a 7,200 bet, and Ionescu called.
The action slowed on the 3♠ turn when Mullur checked. Ionescu bet 6,000, and after some thought, Mullur called.
On the 5♠ river, Mullur checked once again. Ionescu grabbed a stack of chips and pushed them into the middle, effectively putting Mullur all-in. Mullur took a moment, then made the call, risking his tournament life. Mullur revealed A♠K♠ for the nut flush, but Ionescu showed J♥J♦ for a full house, sending Mullur packing to the registration desk for another shot.
