Flush Over Flush Situation Favors Gonsalves

Milko van Winden

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

[Removed:16] raised from the under the gun position to 6,000 and Markus Gonsalves called from the big blind.

The two saw the flop appear and Gonsalves checked his option. Dickerson continued with a bet of 8,000 and Gonsalves called to see the turn.

The turn came down and Gonsalves picked the check-calling route again. This time the bet from Dickerson was considerably bigger as he put in 28,000.

The river completed the board and completed a diamond flush draw which turned out to be a big factor in the hand. Gonsalves checked for the third time and Dickerson put in a bet for the third time. He went for 40,000 and it looked like Gonsalves had a tough decision to make as he took his time.

Gonsalves ended up calling as he tabled for the winning hand after seeing Dickerson open up .
