Tan Rivers a Flush to Send Fragale Packing
Level 23
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
On a flop of 9♠5♦Q♦, Sandor Gyorffy had bet 150,000 then both Maurice Tan and Antonio Fragale shoved their stacks into the middle. Gyorffy was thinking for a while but eventually laid his hand down.
Antonio Fragale: A♥Q♥ 
Maurice Tan: 9♦8♦
Fragale's pair was in the lead and stayed there after the 3♥ turn, but the river was one card too many to sweat as the A♦ gave him two pair, but improved Tan to a flush. After checking the stacks, Tan's was bigger, which meant Fragale's trip to the payout desk came earlier than he had hoped.
