Giordano Flushes Paplyk Out on the River
Level 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
With about 7,000 in the middle, on a board reading 
, Matthew Paplyk checked from the small blind. Gianfranco Giordano was on the button and bet 2,500. Paplyk called.
The turn was the 
and both players checked. The dealer completed the board with the 
on the river. Paplyk thought for a moment and then bet 6,100. Giordano paused for a moment and then cut out chips, looking like he was going to call. He gave Paplyk a quick look, and eventually just called.
Paplyk tabled 
for a pair of aces with a king kicker. Giordano then tabled 
for the second-nut flush and raked in the pot.
