Prystupa Flushes Chief

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action folded to Codey Chief in late-middle position, and he elected to shove. It folded around to Mark Prystupa on the big blind, and after a few seconds of thought, he decided to make the call.

Prystupa was marginally behind with {k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} against the {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} of Chief, but Prystupa turned the diamond flush on the {j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{6-Spades} board to collect a double.

Chief Flops the Straight

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Mark Prystupa was in middle position when he elected to shove his remaining 22,000 chips. Action folded to Codey Chief in the small blind and after a few seconds in the tank, he called with a bigger stack. The big blind got out of the way, and Prystupa had Chief dominated with {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} vs the {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} of Chief.

That all changed on the {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop, giving Chief the stones and the {k-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} turn and river couldn't save Prsytupa.
