Veselov Hits a Backdoor Flush
Level 2
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Mikhail Veselov opened the action with a raise to 5,000 from early position and received three callers.
Four players checked through the 9♣6♣10♦ flop to see the A♦ roll off on the turn. When it checked to Veselov, he bet 8,500 with only Alexandr Lakhov calling from the button.
The 2♦ hit the river and Veselov tossed out a bet of 25,000. Lakhov reluctantly made the call and then mucked after Veselov turned over a flush with 9♦8♦.
