Vodinh Sends McColl Packing with Turned Flush

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Diana Zhao opened to 2,100 from middle position and picked up two callers: Elpidio Dulay in middle position and Andrew Vodinh on the button. With a multi-way pot brewing, Evan McColl had other plans and moved all-in for about 12,000 from the blinds.

Zhao and Dulay quickly folded, but Vodinh — sitting behind a massive stack — made the call, putting McColl at risk.

Evan McColl: K5 All in
Andrew Vodinh: J9

The flop came 10K3, giving McColl top pair but giving Vodinh a flush draw. The A turn completed that flush, leaving McColl in need of help. The river 7 sealed the deal, eliminating McColl as Vodinh pulled in more chips to boost his stack further.

Narciso continued his betting on the 4 river pushing out 25,200, but the river was the end of the road for Lies who folded.

On the river of a board showing 3227J with around 40,000 in the pot. Christopher Hewitt checked from middle position and faced a bet for all of his remaining 30,000 chips. Hewitt took his time to think through the decision to call or fold. Eventually, he called.

Geist showed KK for an overpair with pocket kings, which was good to win the pot as Hewitt had 66 for just a pair of sixes.
