Senic Gets the Folds

Level 5 : 400/800, 800 ante

Aaron Li raised to 2,000 from mid-position and was called by Andrej Senic in the hijack and Tolly Sakellariou in the cutoff while the rest of the table folded.

The flop came {4-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{j-Hearts}, Li checked, Senic took over the initiative and bet 3,500. Both Sakellariou and Li called.

The turn brought them the {9-Diamonds}, Li quickly checked again. Senic now barreled a bet of 12,000 into the pot. Sakellariou glanced at Senic's stack, took a bit of time, and then opted to fold. Li also gave up on the hand for Senic to pick up the pot.

"Flushing?" Sakellariou asked Senic.

Senic tabled {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for the turned pair of nines, the flush, and the straight draw.
