Eremia Takes Full Advantage of a Freeroll
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
On a board of 9♦10♣K♠8♦ with around 60,000 in the middle, Yanis Avanesyan checked from the big blind and Niculae Eremia shoved for 102,000 from under the gun. Avanesyan was in the tank for quite some time trying to figure it out and it would cost him a big chunk of his 150,000-chip stack to do so. After around two minutes, Avanesyan finally called.
Niculae Eremia: K♦J♦ 
Yanis Avanesyan: K♥J♠
Both players had the same hand but Eremia was freerolling with his flush draw. When the A♦ dropped on the river, Eremie punched the air in celebration as his flush earned him a last-gasp double-up.
