The Turn of a Card

The three player left in today's event all had nearly equal stacks, so if anyone could land a decisive blow, he could take a 2-1 chip lead into the heads-up battle. Yuval Bronshtein came one card away from doing just that.

On the button, Bronshtein raised with {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and after Jason Newburger folded, Greg Hopkins raised the pot with {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Bronshtein chose to call, and after the flop of {Q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts} Hopkins announced he was all-in. Bronshtein made the call with the best hand, but when the {8-Hearts} turned it gave Hopkins a flush draw as well.

A draw he didn't need in the end. The {A-Clubs} spiked on the river to give Hopkins the pot and the chip lead with 1,225,000. Instead of going into the heads-up battle with a huge lead, Bronshtein was left with just 360,000.
