Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Small blind Joan Moragues and Andrej Tekel on the button were heads up on the 9♠10♥J♥K♠ turn. With 38,500 in the pot, Moragues checked it over to Tekel. Tekel then bet 22,000, and Moragues called.
After a bit of thought, Moragues checked the 7♥ river as well. Tekel quickly moved all in, and Moragues snap-called for his stack of 45,500.
Tekel turned over Q♦8♠ for a straight, but Moragues had rivered a flush with his Q♥9♥ and was awarded a sizable double-up. Tekel, meanwhile, was left with about 15 big blinds.
