Charvatis Makes Super Flush

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Heads up on a K10J7 board, Christoforos Charvitis bet 15,000 into the 32,000 pot from the big blind. He received a call from Tom Corcoran in early position, resulting in the A river showing up.

Charvatis continued for 20,000 and Corcoran threw in a reluctant call. Charvatis showed 65 for a turned flush, and it was good enough to win the pot as Corcoran's cards hit the muck.

Charvatis Tries to Get Away

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Arriving on a turn on the A3A6 board, Christoforos Charvatis bet 16,000 from middle position after a check from Tomas Geleziunas in the big blind.

Geleziunas then jammed for 35,000 and Charvatis asked for a count and went in the tank. Eventually, however, he decided on a call, leading to a showdown.

Tomas Geleziunas: A3
Christoforos Charvatis: A2

Charvatis needed a six to chop the pot, put the 5 river did not bring it. Geleziunas doubled up to an above-average stack while Charvatis was left with slightly more than a starting stack.

Blaney Expends Big Stack

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

In a 22,500 pot, three players saw a flop of A93. Matthew Blaney checked from the small blind, after which Frankie McPartland bet 7,500 from under the gun. Gunnar Wedde called from middle position, as did Blaney.

All three players then checked through the 6 turn and 7 river, leaving Blaney to show down A6 for two pair.

It was enough to rake in the pot, as the four other cards hit the muck.

Alan Kelleher: AJ
Gary Satelle: AQ

Satelle remained in the lead on A8710, but the J river saw Kelleher hit two pair to scoop the pot, much to the dismay of his opponent, who was left with 20 big blinds.
