Sergi Reixach opened to 40,000 from the cutoff and called when Andre Akkari three-bet to 120,000 from the small blind.
Akkari continued for 85,000 on the A♣8♠6♣ flop. Reixach clicked it to 170,000 and was quickly called.
The 2♣ turn checked through to the J♣ river. Akkari checked once more and Reixach went deep into the tank for several minutes. The clock was called, which sprung Reixach into life as he chucked out a bet of 215,000.
Akkari, who had 397,000, moved all in as the smaller stack to put the action back on the Spaniard. Reixach returned to his deep thoughts and once again the clock was called. And like last time, he immediately made his decision and flicked in calling chips.
Akkari tabled K♣K♦ for the nut flush, besting his opponent's 10♣10♥.
