Alosh Sends Defending Champ to the Cage
Level 3
: Blinds 0/0, 300 ante
On a three-way turn of 9♥Q♦6♥6♠, Moshe Alosh checked to Shota Nakanishi who then moved all in for his last 11,300. Moshe Avraham got out of the way and the action was back on Alosh who went into the tank.
After a good while, he slammed his chips into the middle to make the call, putting last year's champion at risk.
Shota Nakanishi: K♣10♦
Moshe Alosh: A♥10♥
"Ace or flush, ace or flush!" Alosh announced, even though he was already ahead with his ace-high.
The river came the J♥ to give Nakanishi a straight, but unfortunately for him, it also gave Alosh the nut flush to scoop the pot.
Nakanishi was out of add-on chips and was eliminated from the tournament, but was seen reentering for another try.
