Cvetkovic Claims His Pot...Eventually

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

On a board of Q43Q, Andrija Cvetkovic had checked it over to Kadir Altinbasak on the button, who bet 37,500. Cvetkovic had around 45,000 total and instead of committing it all, he just called.

An 8 landed on the river and Cvetkovic immediately moved his last 7,000 into the middle, which Altinbasak quickly called.

Cvetkovic then showed a flush with KK, which beat the trips of Altinbasak, who showed KQ. However, Cvetkovic was made to feel a bit uneasy as the dealer mucked his cards and was getting his seat card ready to give to the floor, thinking he had been eliminated. The situation was soon corrected as the table pointed out that Cvetkovic had a flush, and the pot was pushed to its rightful owner.

Crisis averted!
