Comisso Back in Front

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

After briefly losing the lead, Comisso is once again ahead in chips.

Mike Comisso check-called 80,000 on a {j-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{k-Spades} flop and 200,000 more on an {a-Spades} turn. Check-check on the {3-Spades}, and Comisso showed {q-Spades}{4-Spades} for the turned nut flush.

"Bad river," he lamented.

"Flip it Out"

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Mike Comisso opened to 80,000 and snap-called when Vinicius Lima shoved for a hair over 1 million. Lima showed {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}.

"Flip it out," Comisso said, standing up and slapping down {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

Lima's rail called for an ace and that's exactly what they got when the flop came {4-Clubs}{8-Spades}{a-Clubs}. No ten arrived for Comisso on fourth or fifth street.
