Gigauri Keeps Climbing
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
A player in middle position raised to 80,000 and Elguja Gigauri called in the big blind.
Gigauri checked in the dark going to the 3♣K♥9♣ flop, and his opponent checked back. The middle-position player then bet 175,000 on the 6♥ turn, and Gigauri called.
The river was the 8♣ and Gigauri led out for 375,000. "Show me a flush," his opponent said as he quickly called, and Gigauri turned over 6♣5♣. "Son of a bitch," his opponent yelled out as he mucked 9♦9♠.
