Flush Draws Clash: Maimone’s River Sends Song Packing
Level 30
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
With about 720,000 already in the pot and the flop showing 5♥8♦2♥, Martin Nielsen in the big blind and Xiaoxiao Song in the hijack both checked to Nick Maimone on the button, who fired a bet of 300,000. Nielsen called, but Song decided to raise. Maimone then three-bet, forcing Nielsen to fold, and Song quickly moved all in.
Xiaoxiao Song held K♥K♣8♥4♦, leading with a pair of kings, while Nick Maimone had A♥J♦5♦Q♥, both players chasing flush draws. The 7♣ on the turn didn’t change much, but the 10♥ on the river completed Maimone’s flush, sending Song to the rail.
