Flush Over Flush for Sitbon

Three-way on a flop of 5♣4♦4♣, with Nikolai Mamut and Julien Sitbon in the blinds and Patrick Lik-Tung Lui on the button, the action was checked around to see the 3♣ turn.

Mamut checked again, Sitbon bet 40,000 and forced Lui to fold, but Mamut responded with a check-raise to 135,000. After some thought, Sitbon made the call.

The 8♣ river completed the board and Mamut led out for 85,000. Sitbon called, placing his chips next to Mamut’s stack as if he was conceding the pot.

However, after Mamut tabled Q♣10♦, Sitbon quickly turned over K♣2♣ for the winning flush, took his chips back and scooped the pot.
