Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Around 20,000 was in the middle on a flop of A♣5♥3♣, in a hand between Oliver Mihajlovski under the gun and Manuel Janas in the big blind.

Janas led out with a bet of 9,500, and Mihajlovski called.

The 9♦ hit on the turn, and Janas, sporting a fetching 1970s retro Werder Bremen top, took at least 90 seconds to think before checking.

Mihajlovski quickly fired out a bet of 23,000. Janas went into the tank, but ultimately let it go.

"Queens?" enquired Janas, and Mihajlovski smiled and nodded.

Jonathan Briscoe-White recounted to PokerNews how he amassed his stack.

In the last hand before the break, Briscoe-White opened to 1,500 under the gun, and was met with a three-bet to 4,700 from Dominik Holzmuller. Briscoe-White pumped it up to 19,000 and Holzmuller called.

On the A♠4♣3♦ flop, Briscoe-White continued with a bet of 15,000, and Holzmuller jammed for around 45,000, with Briscoe-White making the call.

Dominik Holzmuller: A♥K♥ All in
Jonathan Briscoe-White: A♦K♦

It looked to be a chop, but the poker gods were shining on Briscoe-White as he went runner-runner for the flush with the 10♦5♦ runout.
