Kurtzman Wins Big With Straight Flush

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante
Eric Kurtzman
Eric Kurtzman

Aliaksei Boika was seen departing from Table #441 in Amazon Purple, in what was described as "the craziest hand I've ever seen" by one player at the table.

Boika held {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, Steven Highfill held {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}, and Eric Kurtzman held {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}.

With board down {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{9-}{q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, all the money went into the middle on the river.

Highfill had the ace-high flush, and Boika a full house, but neither player could beat Kurtzman who had a straight flush.

Kurtzman had Boika covered, and Highfill survived but was left with just 3,000 to spin up with Kurtzman moving up to a massive 230,000.

Grafton Gives Up

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

The board fell {j-Spades}{q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, and with close to 35,000 in the middle, Sam Grafton checked from the hijack.

His opponent bet 21,000 from the cutoff and Graton went into the tank.

Grafton clearly had a tough decision to make and pondered his next move for over a minute, but as the seconds ticked by, the Brit decided to fold, and his opponent stacked the chips from the pot.

Chidwick Rises

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

The flop fell {6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, and Stephen Chidwick checked from the small blind. His opponent bet 1,200 and Chidwick called.

Both players checked after the {10-Diamonds} hit the turn, and when the {2-Clubs} was revealed on the river, Chidwick bet 1,600.

His opponent called seconds later, and Chidwick tabled {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}, which was good enough to win the pot.

The action opened with a raise to 1,000 from the player in the cutoff and Jennifer Tilly three-bet to 3,000 from the big blind.

Her opponent called, and Tilly bet 4,000 after the {7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop fell. The bet was matched, and when the {5-Clubs} hit the turn, Tilly continued for 7,000, which her opponent again called.

The {j-Clubs} hit the river, and Tilly slowed down by checking, and her opponent checked behind to a showdown after 20 seconds of thought.

"Jack" announced Tilly, and revealed {k-Hearts}{j-Spades} for top pair.

Her opponent checked his cards and thought for five seconds before he mucked, and Till won the pot to move up to 80,000.
