Yaroshevskyy was behind, but that all changed after the dealer fanned the flop, which gave him the nut flush and secured his double-up even before the turn and river.

Milko van Winden

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Ben Heath raised from under the gun to 2,000 and he was called by the player on the button. The flop was dealt and Heath was the first to act.

He continued with a bet of 1,800 and that was enough to make his opponent fold and the Brit took the pot down. He is seated at the same table as Sam Grafton and Oliver Ruesing and both of them have a stack of about three time the initial 20,000.
