Russo Binks Flush in Enormous Pot
Level 25
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Salvatore Russo raised to 40,000 from early position before Muhamet Perati three-bet to 140,000 in the small blind. Yossi Maymon cold-called in the big blind and Russo matched the raise as well, going to a flop of 10♥3♥5♠.
It was checked to Russo, who bet 205,000. Perati then jammed all in for 905,000, and Maymon made a quick fold. Russo called with the covering stack, however, and the cards went face-up.
Muhamet Perati: A♦5♦ 
Salvatore Russo: A♥8♥
Cheers erupted from the rail as the K♥ hit the turn, making Russo his flush and securing him the pot. The J♥ river brought him a useless bonus heart as Perati awaited his payout.
Russo was shipped the pot and ended up with a stack of nearly 150 big blinds.
