Diamonds are Corront's Best Friend
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
In three-way action to the K♦8♠5♦ flop, the action checked to Merwan Corront and he bet 50,000 in the hijack. Brett Toker moved all-in from the small blind and Gareth Kalil reluctantly folded, while Corront pushed forward his near identical stack for the call.
Merwan Corront: A♦Q♦
Brett Toker: A♥K♣
The 10♦ turn instantly gave Corront the nut flush to make the 5♠ river a formality. He doubled for 212,000 and Toker was left with 3,000. One table over, his son Ricky Toker got a shove through and the father was then all-in soon after.
Multi way to the K♥5♣2♠J♦K♣ river, Patrice Ah-Nien min-bet to isolate and his J♠4♣ beat the A♣6♥ of Toker.
