Three All-Ins, Two Sets, and Plenty of Draws
The action heated up when Przemyslaw Szymanski raised to 225,000 from middle position. Catalin Diac, seated in the cutoff, responded with a three-bet to 550,000. Without hesitation, Andreas Brunner went all in, prompting Szymanski to follow suit with his all-in move. This put Diac in a position to ask for a chip count before ultimately making the call, leading them to a dramatic showdown.
Andreas Brunner: A♥K♠
Przemyslaw Szymanski: K♣K♦
Catalin Diac: J♠J♥
The flop of K♥5♥6♥ was favorable for Szymanski, who flopped a set of kings, while Brunner found himself with a nut flush draw.
The turn brought the A♦, giving Brunner an additional draw for a full house with aces over kings.
However, the river revealed the J♣, crushing Brunner's hopes and sending him to the rail.
Szymanski, meanwhile, added a significant portion of Diac's stack to his own, making him one of the chip leaders in the tournament.
