Tantillo Has a Bigger Flush than Alekian
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Nikolay Fal raised to 30,000 from the hijack and Genrik Alekian called from the button. Fausto Tantillo also called from the big blind.
On the 2♠A♥5♠ flop, it checked to Fal, who continued for 40,000. Both Alekian and Tantillo called to the 6♦ turn, where everybody checked.
When the A♠ fell on the river, Tantillo led out with a bet of 85,000, which got Fal to fold. Alekian took just two seconds before he tossed in a chip to call.
Tantillo then flipped a flush with Q♠6♠, which pipped the smaller flush of Alekian, who turned over J♠9♠.
