Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Liam Gannon

Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Andre Allen called in first position which saw action fold to Robbie Kent in the hijack who raised to 75,000. On the button Blair Hinkle moved all in for 325,000 which saw Allen fold and Kent called.

Blair Hinkle: A♦Q♥
Robbie Kent: A♠J♣

The flop of 2♠7♠3♠ gave Kent the nut flush draw, but the runout of 8♦9♦ saw no improvement given to him and the two time RGPS main event champion took down the pot to survive.
