Chong Spikes the River to Stun Gavriilidis
Level 4
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Heads up on a flop of 4♥8♠10♠, Panagiotis Gavriilidis bet 60,000 from the hijack and Victor Chong called in the small blind.
The turn was the 5♠ and Gavriilidis moved all in for 160,000. Chong snap-called with A♣A♠, but Gavriilidis had K♠Q♠ for a flush.
The 9♠ fell on the river and Gavriilidis shot out of his seat after Chong improved to the nut flush, letting out a few choice words in his native language before snapping a photo of the board and heading for the exit.
"You know what the odds were of hitting that spade?" tablemate Eric Afriat said to Chong.
"Very low," Chong replied with a smile.
