Flush Hopes Drowned by a Full House
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Karim Maekelberg opened the action with a raise, only to face an all-in shove from Felix Kias. The table folded back to Maekelberg, who snap-called, setting up a dramatic showdown.
Felix Kias: 10♥10♠
Karim Maekelberg: K♥K♦
Kias needed help against Maekelberg’s pocket kings, and the 4♠3♠9♠ flop delivered a glimmer of hope with a flush draw. The 9♦ turn kept Maekelberg in front, leaving Kias needing a spade or a ten to survive.
The river brought a spade, but it was the K♠, giving Maekelberg a full house and dashing Kias’ dreams. Kias was sent packing, while Maekelberg stacked the pot.
