Peluso Smacks the Flop, Still Doubles Maouchi
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Drisse Maouchi moved all in for 21,000 on the button and Fabio Peluso tanked for a minute before calling in the small blind.
Drisse Maouchi: 9♠4♠ 
Fabio Peluso: A♦5♦
"Fives?" tablemate Kevin Abecassis asked Peluso.
"One five," Peluso replied. The flop came 6♦5♠3♦ and Peluso not only hit a pair but picked up the nut flush draw.
The turn, though, was the 9♥ and Maouchi pulled ahead with a pair of nines. The 2♠ river gave Maouchi a straight and he doubled up.
