2019 EPT Sochi Main Event champion Uri Gilboa just alerted PokerNews to a big pot he was recently involved in.
On a flop of 
, Fagundes Borges checked, Gilboa bet 4,000, and then Luka Cencelj raised to 11,000. Borges folded and Gilboa moved all-in for about 32,000. Cencelj called to put his tournament life at risk.
Luka Cencelj: 
Uri Gilboa: 
Cencelj held top and bottom pair, but Gilboa had flopped the nut straight.
The dealer however would not be kind to Gilboa, putting out the 
on the turn and the 
on the river to give Cencelj a backdoor flush and take a big chunk from Gilboa's stack.
