Eskes Finishes the Level Strong

Tim Baker

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Pedro Marques raised to 240,000 from the hijack and Tjenno Eskes defended out of the big blind.

The flop fell 7♠A♣6♥ and Eskes check-called a bet of 160,000 from Marques.

The 5♣ appeared on the turn and both players checked to see the 2♣ land on the river. Eskes led out for 225,000 and Marques called.

Eskes showed a flush with 9♣6♣, which was good as Marques mucked two pair holding A♠5♠.
