Estafanous Hits a Flush

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

The action was opened with a raise from the player under the gun and the opponent on his direct left made the call before Boulos Estafanous defended his big blind. All three players checked on the {8-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop before Estafanous lead for 425 on the {k-Diamonds} turn.

The initial preflop raiser folded and the third player in the pot called to see a {9-Diamonds} river. Estafanous bet again, this time for 1,050, and got called.

Boulos Estafanous: {q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Estafanous had hit runner-runner flush and took down the pot after his opponent had turned top pair.

Craig Chops All-In

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Johnnie Craig, 2016 Seniors Event champion for $538,204, just flopped a straight and got all his chips in the middle only to see his opponent had also flopped the nuts.

There was a raise from early position, and Craig called from middle position before both the blinds came along. The flop fell {10-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}, and the blinds checked to the initial raiser who bet 750. Craig made it 1,800, and the small blind moved all in for around 4,200. The other two players involved folded, and Craig called.

Johnnie Craig: {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Opponent: {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Turn: {a-Spades}
River: {7-Spades}

Both players had flopped the nuts, and the conclusion of the board didn't change the outcome, leaving the players to pull back their stacks and split the rest of the pot.
