Kolonias Makes Flush Against Cristiani

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

Jean-Marc Cristiani opened the action with a raise to 40,000 from early position, Pierre Chevalier called in the hijack, Alexandros Kolonias called on the button, and the big blind came along.

The flop ran out 4♣J♣J♦ and the big blind checked. Cristiani made it 50,000 to go, which was called by both Chevalier and Kolonias.

On the 5♣ turn, Cristiani and Chevalier checked. Kolonias fired out a bet of 95,000, then Cristiani check-raised all in. Chevalier got out of the way and Kolonias quickly made the call for the rest of his stack, 345,000 chips.

Cristiani showed A♣J♠ for trip jacks with a draw to the nut flush, a strong hand indeed, but Kolonias was ahead as he flipped over Q♣10♣ for a turned flush.

The river came the 6♥ and Kolonias held to win the pot, more than doubling up his stack.
