River Flushes Tardif's Dreams of a Double
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Philip Tardif open-shoved for around 45,000 and action folded to Thomas Phillips who moved all in for much more, and then it was on Alexander White who was pondering his decision.
After around 30 seconds, he decided to throw away 10♥10♦, which raised some eyebrows from the table but was quickly relieved once he saw what he would have been up against...
Philip Tardif: A♣Q♦
Thomas Phillips: K♦K♥
Phillips was well in the lead with his pocket kings, but the flop of A♠9♠3♠ gave the upper hand to Tardif with his ace.
Miraculously, the board ran out 4♠Q♠ to put a flush on the board which resulted in a chopped pot.
