Lereya Gets There on the Flop, Amsalem Folds the Winner

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante

Israel Amsalem raised to 7,500 before Leon Lereya, in the cutoff, moved all in for 70,500. Iacopo Brandi called on the button, and Amsalem tanked for a moment before mucking.

Leon Lereya: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Iacopo Brandi: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Lereya had run into Brandi's kings and was behind until the {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop gave him top pair and the lead. The board ran out {j-Spades}{2-Spades} and Lereya doubled up.

After the hand, Amsalem admitted he folded tens and would've flopped top set.

"Good decision," Brandi told him.

"Bad decision," Amsalem replied.
