Scerri Takes Two Out

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Andre Scerri was sporting a big stack after having eliminated two opponents and was kind enough to relay what had happened:

Scerri raised to 7,500 from under the gun and the player in the early position three-bet to 15,000. The player in the hijack called and action folded back to Scerri. Scerri thought about shoving with {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts} but opted to call instead.

The flop came {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, Scerri now shoved and both of his opponents called. The early position player held {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for the set of tens and the player in the hijack had {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for the set of queens.

The turn brought them the {4-Hearts} for Scerri to hit the flush, he only needed to avoid the board to pair up.

The river completed the board with the {5-Spades} for Scerri to hold with the flush to eliminate both of his opponents.
