Cortazar Continues to Climb
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Raul Mestre opened to 80,000 from under the gun, and Xavier Cortazar called in the big blind.
Cortazar checked in flow on the K♦Q♠A♣ flop, but then called a continuation bet of 70,000.
The 4♦ turn saw another check from Cortazar, and another bet from Mestre, this time for a more substantial 220,000. Cortazar called again.
The flush-completing 6♦ completed the board, and this time, when Cortazar checked for a third time, Mestre checked back.
It proved a wise decision, as Cortazar flipped over A♦9♦ for a rivered nut flush.
