Gutyi Flops the Nuts to Bust Brandt
Four-way to the 5♠Q♠2♠ flop with about 15,000 in the pot, the action checked around to Nazar Buhaiov in the cutoff, who bet 3,500. Jamie O'Connor called from the small blind before Mykhailo Gutyi check-raised to 14,000 from the big blind. Piet Brandt then jammed for 49,500 from the hijack.
Buhaiov went deep into the tank, continuously looking back at his cards. After about two minutes, he folded, and O'Connor also got out of the way. Gutyi called and the cards were turned over.
Piet Brandt: K♦K♠
Mykhailo Gutyi: A♠4♠
Brandt needed a runner-runner full house to beat Gutyi's flopped nut flush.
The board-pairing Q♦ turn gave Brandt a glimmer of hope, but it was quickly extinguished when the 8♥ river bricked out.
Brandt headed for the showers, while Gutyi climbed to almost 200,000. After the hand, Buhaiov indicated that he had folded a flush when faced with all the action.
