Geilich Gets Flushed Out

Adam Lamers

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Picking up the action on the turn with around 20,000 in the middle, the board read A♠7♦4♠5♠ and Erkut Yilmaz had a bet of 7,500 in front of him. Ludovic Geilich shipped all in for 22,100 on his left and the big blind called. Yilmaz went into the tank for roughly three minutes before the clock was called and he eventually folded.

Geilich turned over 8♦6♦ for a straight which was ahead of his opponent's A♥Q♠. However, the 2♠ on the river gave his opponent a flush and Geilich was eliminated.

The action was heads-up on the turn with the board reading J♦9♣7♦A♣ and around 6,500 in the pot. Robbi Jade Lew checked to Zachary Hall in the cutoff who bet 3,500. Lew called and the 3♣ landed on the river.

Lew checked again and Hall flicked in a bet of 8,000. Lew quickly called and Hall turned over A♠J♥ for the best two pair. Lew flashed her A♦9♦ before it went into the muck and Hall raked in the pot.

Lew was down to roughly half of a starting stack after the hand but was seen exiting the tournament area shortly after.
