Deschuttyer Shuts Bucci Down

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
Tom Deschuytter
Tom Deschuytter

Tom Deschuytter raised to 500 from the early position and was called by Jan Stigter in the middle position and Frederick Field in the hijack. Lorenzo Bucci three-bet to 2,500 from the cutoff and action folded back to Deschuytter who made the call. Stigter folded and Field called too.

The flop came {q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, both Deschuytter and Field checked. Bucci shoved for 18,500 and Deschuytter took a few seconds before shoving too with the bigger stack. Field contemplated his options for a while and then opted to fold to let them battle it out.

Lorenzo Bucci: {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Tom Deschuytter: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Bucci had flopped top pair but so did Deschuytter. Deschuytter had also picked up the nut flush draw.

The turn brought them the {k-Clubs} to bring the nut flush to Deschuytter and the {j-Clubs} on the river made the flush even prettier as Bucci was eliminated.
