Level 19
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Gabriel Tavares raised to 125,000 under the gun and Felipe Boianovsky called in the cutoff.
Tavares continued for 125,000 on the K♣Q♣9♦ flop and Boianovsky called. Tavares then bet 400,000 on the 6♦ turn, and Boianovsky again called.
The river was the 2♦ and Tavares moved all in for 1,300,000. Boianovsky snap-called, and Tavares showed A♦3♦ for the rivered nut flush. Boianovsky tossed K♦J♦ for a smaller king-high flush into the muck as he handed over the double up and the chip lead.
