Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Heads-up on a flop of J♥6♣4♥, Peter Turmezey bet 5,000 from the small blind and Poseidon Ho raised to 15,000 in the cutoff. Turmezey burned through multiple time banks until moving all in for 25,000 and Ho quickly called. "You have a flush draw, right?" Turmezey asked as they revealed their cards.

Peter Turmezey: A♠K♠ All in
Poseidon Ho: 10♥8♥

Turmezey's read proved correct as he was ahead with ace-high. The board ran out K♦A♣ and Turmezey made top two pair to double up.

"Wow, you guys are good," tablemate Erik Friberg said.

A hand earlier at this table, Michael Dwyer had moved all in on a board of 7♠8♥5♥6♥J♠ and Victor Pertile called for his last 35,000. Dwyer showed 9♦9♥ for a straight and Pertile tossed two kings into the muck on his way to the rail.

The flop came 6♥6♣5♣ and Stausholm bet 6,500. Coppola then moved all in and Stausholm called for 26,500.

Martin Stausholm: J♣J♥ All in
Enrico Coppola: A♣K♥

Stausholm was ahead with his jacks until the K♦ fell on the turn to give Coppola two pair. The river was the 3♠ and Stausholm was sent to the rail.
