Paez Wins A Monster Pot

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The board read {3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} with around 80,000 in the middle already.

Osman Aksu checked in the big blind and so did Raul Paez in the hijack. Haoxiang Wang bet 37,000 and Aksu took a few seconds before raising by putting a big stack of 5,000-value chips over the line. Paez asked for a count and the dealer confirmed the raise was to 100,000. Paez called and then it was Wang's turn to tank. After a while, Wang decided to fold.

The river completed the board with the {10-Diamonds}, Aksu put in another big stack of 5,000-value chips and the dealer confirmed the bet was for 110,000. Paez responded by shoving for 179,000. Aksu folded.

Wang claimed he folded a flush.
