Hall Forced to Check Back a Flush
Level 13
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Galen Hall raised to 50,000 on the button and Daniel Sepiol defended from the big blind. The flop came K♠K♦2♠ and Sepiol checked to Hall who continued with a bet of 35,000. Sepiol check-raised to 130,000 and Hall just called.
The turn was the 7♠ and Sepiol fired out another barrel of 180,000. Hall still called and the K♣ landed on the river. Sepiol checked this time and Hall checked it back.
Sepiol flipped over 6♠5♦ for air while Hall turned over his A♠Q♠ for a flush. The pot was being pushed to Hall, when for a brief instant, he thought Sepiol had pocket sixes and deserved the pot.
