Hewston Busts Mihai-Popescu
Level 2
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
A monstruous pot of 40,000 had brewed on a completed board of 10♠9♣2♠K♣7♥, in a hand between Jonathan Hewston and Sergiu-Valentin Mihai-Popecu.
Hewston had jammed for 41,200 and Mihai-Popescu was in the tank, with around 25,000 behind.
Eventually he made the call with A♠K♠, for top pair kings after flopping a flush draw - but was shown the bad news when Hewston had 10♥10♣ for a set of tens.
"Nice hand" said the Romanian as he departed, "Unlucky mate" replied Hewston.
