Miquel Munoz Chips Up With a Flush

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

On the tail end of a 992J6 board, Ramon Miquel Munoz bet 9,300 out of the big blind and the dealer already tossed the all-in triangle towards him. The Spaniard then moved his hands away to reveal one T-25,000 chip behind and the all-in triangle vanished again.

Daniel Ferketa called the bet and was shown the A5 for the ace-high flush by Miquel Munoz, which won the pot.

Burlacu Ousted By Nasty River

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Sam Johnson, Robert Burlacu, and Todd Phillips were three-ways to a turn of 6567. Johnson and Phillips had checked from the small blind and early position respectively before Burlacu made a bet of 13,500 into the pot of 23,000.

Sam Johnson: 75

Burlacu had the higher two pair with his kings and sixes, but the 5 river gave Johnson a full house to eliminate his opponent.
