Nut Flush for Pavlenko

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

While Vincent Tringle-Thibault saw his kings cracked by Pascal Peraldi’s sevens to become the first elimination of the day, Yan Langelotti in the cutoff checked a board of 28A6K with roughly 30,000 in the pot.

Yevhen Pavlenko on the button bet 18,000 and Langelotti went deep into the tank.

He prepared some chips and eventually made the call with AQ, but couldn't do much against Pavlenko's nut flush with A9.
