Ruijs Barrels Into Pak's Flush
Level 30
: Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Gerard Carbo opened to 250,000 in middle position. Joris Ruijs flat-called on the button, and Edward Pak defended his big blind.
The 8♦J♠7♠ flop checked to Ruijs, who bet 225,000. Pak called before Carbo folded A♥K♦. Pak checked again on the 10♠ turn, but after spending a time bank, Ruijs fired for 950,000.
Pak took some time to collect his thoughts, then called. The 2♣ river saw the hand check to showdown. Pak showed K♠4♠ for a flush, outclassing Ruijs's 6♥6♣ to overtake him in the counts.
