Litvinov Loses a Classic Flip; Di Nicola Folds Trips
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Andrey Litvinov was all in for 230,000 from the hijack and up against Mohamed Mokrani in the big blind.
Andrey Litvinov: A♠K♣
Mohamed Mokrani: Q♦Q♣
Mokrani spiked top set on the 9♠Q♥8♣ flop, while the A♣ on the turn arrived too late for Litvinov as he headed for the exit following the 10♥ river.
At the same time at another table, Ermanno Di Nicola and Vedat Yilmaz were heads-up on the river with the board showing 5♥10♥K♣10♣6♠ when Di Nicola bet 190,000.
Yilmaz then raised to 400,000 and Di Nicola quickly turned over the 10♠ and tossed it into the muck. The table implored Yilmaz to show and he turned over the 5♥.
"Five-five," a tablemate said, and sure enough Yilmaz also showed the 5♣ for a full house while taking the big pot.
