Koncz Coolers Estrada to the Rail

David Salituro

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Tibor Koncz three-bet to 12,000 in the cutoff and Soraya Estrada called under the gun.

The flop came 3♦K♣9♦ and Koncz continued for 10,000. Estrada then raised to 22,000, Koncz moved all in, and Estrada called for around 40,000.

Soraya Estrada: Q♦10♦ All in
Tibor Koncz: A♦K♦

Both players had a flush draw, while Estrada also had a straight draw and Koncz had top pair and the lead. The 7♥ turn was no help to Estrada, while the 4♦ river gave both players a flush but it wasn't enough for Estrada to avoid hitting the rail.
