Geilich Scoops A Big One

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action was picked up on the river in a massive pot between Mark Davis in middle position, another player in late position, and Ludovic Geilich on the button.

On a board reading K99103, action checked to the late position player who bet 22,000 which saw Geilich call for his remaining 20,300 and Davis folded.

Ludovic Geilich: K9
Opponent: A9

The late position player had rivered the nut flush, but it was no good against the flopped full house of Geilich who took down the pot after just sitting down.
