Chudapal Flushes Out McDermott
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
The pot stood at around 3,000 with the board showing 9♦8♦6♦. Siarhei Chudapal, first to act, checked, prompting Pavel Popov to bet 1,000. Sven McDermott responded with a raise to 4,000, but Chudapal wasn’t done yet—he three-bet to 8,000, leaving McDermott as the only caller.
Both players checked when the A♣ hit on the turn.
As the J♠ appeared on the river, Chudapal led out with a bet of 8,200. After some thought, McDermott made the call. At showdown, Chudapal revealed A♦Q♦ for a flush, while McDermott’s cards found their way into the muck.
Curious, Chudapal asked, "Kings? You had kings?" to which McDermott simply nodded.
