Brito Snags the Lead with a Flush
Level 24
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
The reign of Alexandros "mexican222" Kolonias as table captain lasted exactly four hands as he doubled up Pablo "pabritz" Brito as follows.
Kolonias opened for 176,000 from the lojack and Brito defended his big blind. Brito check-called for 316,240 on the 
flop before check-jamming the 
turn from 740,002 to 1,776,658. Kolonias called and the cards were turned over.
Pablo "pabritz" Brito: 
Alexandros "mexican222" Kolonias: 
Kolonias was ahead when the chips went in and it looked like he could eliminate players in back-to-back hands. Instead the 
river completed the board to give Brito a flush to win the hand.

flop before both players checked the
