: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Santhosh Suvarna opened from the hijack before being three-bet by Aleksejs Ponakovs in the cutoff. The amount to call was 3,500 and Suvarna obliged.
The players both checked the K♠J♠3♠ flop before the 5♠ turn saw Suvarna check-call a 1,400 bet from his opponent.
The river brought a flush on the board with the 2♠ and Suvarna led out for 3,600. This was not enough for Ponakovs, who put in a big raise to 17,000. Suvarna did not deem his flush high enough anymore and let his hand go.
