Noonan and Vericat Hit the Rail

Stewart Morrison

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jayachandra Gangaiah faced two all-ins before it was his turn to act. A shove by Peter Vericat and another by Justin Noonan.

Gangaiah took his time before making a decision, but eventually chose to call, covering both players.

Jayachandra Gangaiah: A♥K♥
Justin Noonan: A♣K♣ All in
Peter Vericat: 10♠10♦ All in

If Gangaiah was unsure about his hand before the flop, he wasn't anymore. The flop came 8♥2♥Q♥ to give him the nut flush.

The board ran out 2♦3♥, eliminating two players as Gangaiah scoops in a big one.
