Sandev Ends van Eeden With Flush Draw vs Flush Draw

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Georgi Sandev
Georgi Sandev

After Georgi Sandev raised to 4,000 under the gun, Lukas van Eeden moved all in from the small blind for 44,000. Sandev called to put his Dutch opponent at risk.

Lukas van Eeden: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Georgi Sandev: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

It was a suit versus suit battle with the {8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} giving Sandev the advantage with 80 percent of his flush to 60 for Van Eeden.

The {10-Clubs} on the turn now brought both players one card away from a winner, and it was Sandev's flush coming in on the river with the {2-Diamonds} to take the hand and send Van Eeden to the rail.

Chidwick checked again on the {2-Spades} turn and Sousa sized up to 21,000. Chidwick again called. Chidwick checked a third time on the {4-Diamonds} river and Sousa took a moment before betting around 62,000. Chidwick laid it down.

Hand #7 (Under the Gun): Chidwick was first to act and folded.

Hand #8 (Big Blind): Fernandez opened to 3,500 on the button and Chidwick defended his big blind. Chidwick checked on the flop of {9-Hearts}{a-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Fernandez continued for 3,000. Chidwick folded.
