Baruk Rivers Flush; Tian Takes Chip Lead
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Samuel Baruk open-raised to 8,000 from middle position and Nicolas Tytgat three-bet to 24,000 from the cutoff, which Baruk called.
The flop came 2♠3♦4♦ and Baruk checked. Tytgat continued with a bet of 20,000 and Baruk called. Both players then checked it back on the 6♥ turn.
The river was the 5♦ and Baruk led out for 25,000. Tytgat took some time to think before making the call. Baruk had A♦10♦ for an ace-high flush to win the pot.
Tytgat still had plenty of chips, but there's a new chip leader in the tournament - Mengshi Tian has around 700,000.
