Diamonds Are Kraous' Best Friend as Joyce Left With Crumbs
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Anton Kraous moved all in for 470,000 in the cutoff and Philip Joyce snap-called in the big blind.
Anton Kraous: A♦Q♦
Philip Joyce: A♣A♥
"Diamonds are good for you, let's see how they are for him," Mikhail Shalamov told Joyce.
"Shh," Joyce replied as the flop came 10♦8♠6♦, giving Kraous a flush draw. "Never easy," Joyce added.
The 4♣ turn was safe for Joyce and left Kraous a card away from elimination, but he caught the K♦ on the river to crack Joyce's aces and double up, leaving Joyce with just one big blind.
