Gkatzas Folds King-High Flush, Gets Shown Inferior Hand
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Ding Fan raised his J♦J♣ to 50,000 on the button. Dimitrios Gkatzas flat-called K♥Q♦ in the small blind, and Jeffrey Sarwer came along for the ride with K♠7♦ in the big blind.
The trio checked through the Q♥3♥8♥ flop, prompting Sarwer to take the initiative with a bet of 75,000 on the J♥ turn. Fan and Gkatzas both called to the 2♠ river, where the action checked to Fan again.
Fan wagered 200,000 with his top set, sending Gkatzas into the tank. Gkatzas spent a time bank before he concluded the third nuts was no good, and he sent his king-high flush into the muck.
Sarwer's air was quickly passed to the dealer as well. Fan smiled as he tabled his hand for the other players to see, causing an agonized look to form on Gkatzas' face.
