Elias Christodoulou raised under the gun and Carrel three-bet from the small blind, and the initial raiser called.

The flop brought out king-five-six with one spade, and Christodoulou called a bet. on the turn the {7-Spades} hit and Carrel moved all in, having started the hand with 12,000.

Christodoulou called with {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} for a turned nut flush draw, and the river gave him a flush with the {J-Spades}.

Lewis Gifted a Comeback

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Pavel Veksler opened to 700 and was called by one player as well as Christopher Frank before Max Silver squeezed to 3,500 from the button. Romain Lewis called all in for 3,400 from the big blind and Vexsler as well as Frank went along.

On the {K-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Spades} flop, the action was checked to Silver and he bet 4,400 to isolate successfully.

Silver: {6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Lewis: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

Neither the {4-Clubs} turn nor the {8-Spades} river changed anything and Lewis quadrupled up.
