Madaliyev Can Beat a Flush
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
With around 2,000 chips in the middle on a flop of 7♦6♦3♦, Almat Madaliyev checked it over to Mazin Karkotli, who fired 2,400. Madaliyev called.
A 2♦ on the river made the board a little scarier, and Madaliyev went into check-call mode again after Karkotli fired 2,700.
A fifth diamond, the 10♦, landed on the river and Madaliyev led out for 3,300.
"Can you beat a flush?" asked Karkotli.
"That's a tricky question," replied Madaliyev.
Eventually, Karkotli laid it down, and Madaliyev was kind enough to show K♦J♣ for a bigger flush.
