Flushing

[user92162]

Preflop, it came down to a battle of the blinds between Amir Minagar and Kosmas Dratsas.

They took a flop of {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

{2-Diamonds}

. Minagar bet out and Dratsas raised. Minagar called and they moved to the turn {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

.

This was the action card. Minagar played possum by checking, and Dratsas took the invite powering out 100,000. Minagar hit him back with a raise, but before he was able to put the chips out Dratsas had re-raised all in and Minagar had made the call.

Dratsas: {k-Diamonds}

{k-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

Minagar:

{j-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

They would both have the flush but Dratsas' would be the best. The {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

on the river shipped the 1,300,000 chip pot to him.

Minagar takes a huge fall to 560,000.
