Borenstein Gets Paid With a Flush

Connor Richards

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

On a flop of 10♠Q♥J♥, Jonathan Borenstein bet 50,000 from the hijack and Fred Chavez called on the button. Borenstein sized up to 160,000 on the 6♣ turn and Chavez again called.

The 6♥ river completed the board and Borenstein fired a third barrel worth 275,000.

"I don't think you flopped it, but you may have gotten there on the river," Chavez said as he went deep in the tank.

Chavez eventually called, only to muck as Borenstein showed K♥4♥ for a rivered flush.

David Dongwoo Ko: A♦J♣

The board ran out 2♠J♦6♠10♠3♣, giving Stoffel the double as Ko's top pair finishes second best.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Je Wook Oh raised to 30,000 and got called by Nick Schulman on the button before watching the flop come Q♥Q♠A♠.

Oh checked to Schulman who decided to put out a bet for 30,000. Oh was quick to put in the call and see the turn bring the Q♣.

Oh checked for a second time, again giving the lead to Schulman who put out another bet, this time for 115,000. Oh was relatively quick to call again and watch as the 3♣ fell on the river.

Oh checked for a third time. Schulman remained stoic for a few short moments before putting out a bet of 275,000. Oh was very slow to release his hand as he sat in the tank for around three minutes before a player across the table called for a clock, but Oh tossed his cards toward the muck before a tournament official could initiate a countdown.

Both players checked again on the 2♦ turn and Lee showed A♣Q♠ for ace-high to lose out to the 8♣8♠ of Borenstein.

Masato Yokosawa raised to 40,000 from middle position and found a call from Ryan Leng in the big blind before seeing the flop come 10♦4♣6♣.

Leng checked and Yokosawa continued with a bet of 40,000. Leng made the call and the pair headed to a K♠ turn card.

Action checked through to the river which came 7♣.

Both players checked again and Leng quickly turned up the Q♠6♠, getting a quick muck from Yokosawa as Leng collected the pot.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

George Karvounis was all in for about 100,000 on the button and at risk against Anthony Dianaty in the small blind.

George Karvounis: K♥Q♠
Anthony Dianaty: A♥Q♥

Karvounis needed to improve as the J♥8♥2♣ flop left him drawing even slimmer, and although the 9♦ turn gave him a few more outs, the 2♠ river bricked out to eliminate him as Dianaty added to his chip lead.
