On a A♦Q♦5♠ flop Peter Le check-called 1,000 from Stylianos Makariou.
The turn was the 8♦ and Le checked again. Makariou bet 1,500 and Le check-raised to 6,000.
Makariou called and both players quickly checked the 3♦ river. Makariou turned over A♠Q♠ for two pair, but lost out to the 9♦7♦ flush of Le.
"Good turn," said Le. "Bad river"

Welcome back to Doltone House Western Sydney at Club Marconi and the final starting flight of the $1 million GTD Australian Poker Open Main Event.
Yesterday saw 18 players from a starting field of 147 secure their spots in Saturday's Day 2, with the guarantee being met and the poker room full of poker players starting their journey to the APO title.
In the end it was Sayed Jabbour who narrowly pipped Dylan Wayne to bag the chip lead, with all survivors through to Day 2 and guaranteeing themselves a min-cash of $5,000.
Today, players will again receive 50,000 chips and there will be nine 40-minute levels of late registration and re-entry.
Day 1 will end once the field is down to 12.5%. If players bag multiple stacks, they will receive a min-cash payment for every stack bagged, with the largest stack brought forward to Day 2 on Saturday, March 30.
