Szecsi Wins With River Bet; Kampen Makes Flush
Action was heads up with 21,000 in the pot and 2♥5♠5♦ on the board when Daniel Negreanu check-raised a 6,000 bet from Rui Sousa to 18,000. Sousa thought better of it and quickly gave up the pot to add to Negreanu's recent run.
On the next table over, Norbert Szecsi and Matt Vengrin were on the river of a board that read 8♠3♥J♠5♦2♠ when Szecsi bet 55,000 into a pot of around 60,000. Vengrin spent a few moments in the tank but he ultimately gave it up.
Meanwhile, action was four ways back on Negreanu's table with over 20,000 in the pot and 6♦Q♠3♥10♠ on the board. Negreanu checked from early position and Asaf Ben Shushan bet 20,000 from the next seat over. Elliott Kampen called and Rui Sousa came along from late position before Negreanu got out of the way.
The river was 4♠ and Shushan checked before Kampen bet 42,000. Sousa folded before Shushan tossed in the chips to call and Kampen showed A♠K♠10♣3♠ for the ace-high flush. Shushan flashed a small flush and tossed the rest of his cards into the muck.
