Mrad Triples Up Flush Over Flush

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante

Four players saw a flop of {9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs} when Alexander Lakhov put in 65,000 from the button. Ermanno Di Nicola called from the blinds, as did Samir Mrad under the gun.

The turn came the {8-Hearts} and Di Nicola led out for 115,000. Mrad shap-shoved his last 68,000 and Lakhov called to create a side spot.

Di Nicola bet again on the {6-Clubs} river, this time for 100,000. Lakhov gave up his hand as Di Nicola showed {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a rivered flush to take the side pot. Mrad, though, turned over {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for a higher flush to earn a triple up.
