Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Dick Postel raised to 40,000 under the gun. Bobby James called in the cutoff before Daniel Jackson followed suit in the small blind. Big blind Marta Miquel Munoz defended, and a flop of 10♦4♠6♠ hit the felt.

The blinds checked to Postel, who bet 90,000. James raised to 225,000, folding out Jakcson's 8♥7♥. Miquel Munoz decided to risk it all and jammed for 680,000.

Postel eventually folded his 8♦8♣ before James asked for a count. He tanked for a bit and then called off to put Miquel Munoz at risk.

Marta Miquel Munoz: Q♠2♠ All in
Bobby James: A♥10♣

James' top pair was up against the flush draw of Miquel Munoz. The 8♠ turn immediately locked up the pot for her as her flush was completed.

The 2♥ river did not matter anymore as James counted what he owed and paid Miquel Munoz her double-up.
