Level 8
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Ruslan Zhmak made it 10,000 to go from middle position. Oleksii Kravchuk flat-called on the button, and David Kaufmann defended in the big blind.
Kaufmann checked the 5♦8♦A♥ flop to Zhmak, who fired a continuation-bet of 13,000. Kravchuk folded before Kaufmann called.
Kaufmann also check-called the 3♦ turn. This time, the amount requested was 30,000. Zhmak sized up further on the 10♠ river, announcing a pot-sized bet of 125,000.
Kaufmann flicked in calling chips, but he could not beat Zhmak's Q♦9♦ for a flush and mucked.
