Usmanov Rivers a Flush to Double Through Alekian
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
In a single raised pot, three players saw a flop of J♥A♦3♦ get fanned out by the dealer. Salim Usmanov checked from the big blind and the player seated under the gun bet 900. Genrik Alekian raised to 2,300 on the button before Usmanov three-bet jammed for 11,600. The under-the-gun player got out of the way, but Alekian stuck in the call.
Salim Usmanov: K♦7♦ 
Genrik Alekian: A♣10♥
Alekian was ahead with top pair against the flush draw of Usmanov. The 10♠ on the turn gave Alekian aces up, while Usmanoc picked up a gutshot. The 8♦ arrived on the river, giving Usmanov a flush, and he doubled up to around the starting stack.
