Cotturri Flushes for a Near Triple
Level 2
: 100/100, 100 ante
With around 5,000 in the original pot and 
on the board, floor staff was in the process of resolving the hand after a three-way all in.
Vincenzo Cotturri had 
tabled for the flush while Oleg Bessaev was showing 
. Carmen Zainescu had mucked the losing hand and was out of the tournament. Bessaev had called Cotturri's shove, but there was some question as to the exact amount that Cotturri would be owed.
It took a moment, but floor staff determined that Cotturri was owed 11,500 from Bessaev, and he dragged a pot to nearly triple his stack early in Day 1a action.
