Choquelle Wins Huge Last Minute Pot
Level 38
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Picking up the hand on the turn on a board of 5♠8♠4♠3♦ in an already inflated pot, Mohamed El Wely led out for 650,000 and Leo Choquelle called.
The river came the 6♦ and El Wely checked. Choquelle pushed out a stack of black chips worth 2,000,000 and El Wely called. El Wely had Q♠8♥ for a pair of eights, while Choquelle flipped over A♠10♠ for the ace-high flush to win a huge pot.
Just as the next hand was being dealt, cheers erupted as the screen switched from 25 players to the 24 remaining who would bag for Day 2.
