Siegel Makes a Flush

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Esther Riordan opened 3,000 under the gun and Brendon Herrick called next to act, followed by Richard Kaplan in the cutoff, David Siegel in the small blind and George Antonakos in the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of A54 and the action checked to Kaplan as he fired 8,000 into the middle. Both Siegel and Herrick made the call.

The 7 fell on the turn, and Siegel took the lead, firing 11,000 into the middle. Herrick stuck around with a call while Kaplan got out of the way.

The dealer dropped the 8 on the river, and both players tapped the table. Siegel quickly rolled AJ for the ace-high flush and Herrick mucked his hand.

Butans Finds a Call

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Picking up the action on the turn, Kaspars Butans in the small blind was involved in a hand with Pedro Madeira from under the gun.

With the board reading 2476 Butans checked. Madeira bet out 19,000 and Butans called.

Butans checked again following the 3 river, prompting Madeira to fire another barrel, this time sizing up just a bit to 22,100. After some thought, Butans flicked in a call holding 44 and emerged triumphant as Madeira could only show KQ for a missed flush draw to concede a sizable pot.
