Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Around 11,000 was in the middle, in a three-way hand between James Maund and Fabio Assennato in early position, and Aleksandar Zuberovski on the button.
Maund checked to Assennato, who fired out a bet of 5,200, which only Zuberovski called.
The 5♥ hit on the turn, and Assennato continued with the aggression, sliding out a bet of 13,000. Zuberovski again called.
The 4♣ river completed the board. Assennato took about 90 seconds before putting out a blocker-sized bet of 17,000.
It worked as Zuberovski only called with his 8♥7♥ for the turned flush, good against Assannato's A♦Q♣ for top pair queens - although Assannato still looked surprised his opponent didn't raise.
