Pateychuk Rivers a Flush and Stacks Gabdullin

Level 3 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

There were already around 10,000 chips in the pot on a flop of A827 when Andrey Pateychuk fired out a bet of 10,000 from early position and Damir Gabdullin called from the hijack.

They both saw the 10 hit the river and after taking a look at his opponent's stack, Pateychuk shoved.

"I can't fold this one," said Gabdullin, who then put in the remainder of his stack, which looked to be around 50,000.

Pateychuk then flipped K5 for a flush, and Gabdullin's set of eights with 88 went into the bin.
