Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action was opened on the button to 55,000. Gary Braufman called from the small blind and the big blind also came along.

The 9♥K♣Q♥ flop landed and action quickly checked through to a K♠ turn. The blinds checked and the original raiser on the button bet 100,000. Braufman snap called from the small blind and the big blind folded.

The river brought a possible flush-completing 3♥ and Braufman took little time before open jamming for about 200,000. The button thought for only a moment before folding and Braufman scooped.
