Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 0 ante

Lewis Brant raised from the cutoff and only Sovann Pen called in the small blind.

The flop rolled out Q♥9♠5♥ and Pen lead out which Brant called.

On the 8♥ turn, Pen bet and Brant raised which Pen called. Both players checked the Q♦ river.

"Three queens," declared Pen, but it was no good against Brant's A♥9♣4♦2♥ for a flush, and the chip lead was taken by Brant.
