Oeye Turns Flush to Double Up
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Action was on the flop on a board of 8♥Q♦K♥ with around 7,000 in the pot. Espen Oeye checked and Michel Karim bet 4,000. Oeye check-raised to 11,000 and Karim called.
The turn was the J♥ and Oeye led for 6,000. Karim made a raise for most of Oeye's stack and Oeye pushed all in for 22,700 total. Karim quickly called and players revealed their cards.
Karim had A♦A♣ for a pair of aces, but Oeye had Q♥7♥ for a turned flush. The river came the K♠ and Oeye held to win the pot, doubling his stack.
Karim had doubled up moments before with a runner-runner straight, but his stack took a blow to take back down to around 80,000.
