Level 8 : 300/600, 0 ante

With three players involved in the hand, the flop was showing {3-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} when the player in small blind checked and Alexis Gavin bet 4,200. After some time in the tank, only the player in the hijack called.

The turn was a {6-Clubs} and Gavin shoved all in for his last 5,500, putting her opponent into a big decision. Her opponent said he was holding a straight and, after some minutes, ended up calling.

Gavin tabled {k-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{10-Spades} for the flush and her opponent showed {6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{j-Spades}. Gavin had the winning hand and she is now up to 21,400.
