Ramirez Flushed With Chips

On a board of {10-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{3-Hearts} Senovio Ramirez was faced with a bet of 600, and consequently followed it with an all in for 1,875.

Ramirez's opponent made the call tabling {A-Spades}{K-Spades} while Ramirez had a draw holding his {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

Fortunately for Ramirez the {2-Hearts} landed on the turn to complete his flush, and once the {5} landed on the river, he doubled through to 5,500 in chips.

No Club for Sorel

Sorel Mizzi
Sorel Mizzi

With around 1,500 in the pot and the board reading {10-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, Sorel Mizzi was faced with a 700-chip bet.

Taking his time to contemplate a decision, Mizzi raised it up to 2,300, only to have his opponent move all in for a further 400. Mizzi made the call and we were off to a showdown.

Mizzi: {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Opponent: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

With Mizzi needing a club to eliminate his opponent, he would unfortunately see the {9-Hearts} land on the river to send him down to 1,400 in chips.

On a board reading {6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{7-Clubs} Yuval Bronshtein moved his last 2,200 into the pot with his opponent making the call.

The river landed the {8-Spades} to complete one of Bronshtein's draws, as he doubled up to 6,000 in chips.
