Brannan's Flush is Good

Tim Baker

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Frank Brannan made it 22,000 to go from the hijack with Hen Rosilio calling from the cutoff. Kasparas Klezys squeezed to 66,000, which only Brannan called.

Brannan knuckled the action over to Klezys on the 5♦A♥9♣ flop. Klezys bet 40,000, which Brannan called.

Both players checked the 5♣ turn and 8♣ river. Brannan tabled an ace-high flush with A♣Q♣10♠6♠ and Klezys mucked.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

With the turn showing Q♥J♣5♦3♥, Ben Lamb moved forward a tower of T-5,000 chips and Andreas Zampas got it in for his last 162,000 to create the following showdown.

Andreas Zampas: Q♦J♦9♥2♠ All in
Ben Lamb: K♥K♦10♦2♥

Lamb's wrap and flush draw along with the overpair had a lot of equity but the 8♦ river was not among his outs, as he forked over a large portion of his stack before their table broke shortly after.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The action folded to Martin Kabrhel in the small blind who raised the pot to 15,000, leaving 5,000 chips behind. Lior Abudi just called in the big blind and the dealer fanned the flop of 7♦5♣2♥. Kabrhel checked and Abudi made a bet, forcing Kabrhel to call off his last 5,000 chips.

Martin Kabrhel: A♣Q♦10♦2♦ All in
Lior Abudi: J♠6♣5♠4♥

The turn brought the 2♠ to give Kabrhel trip deuces as he shouted in excitement across the room and put his hands in the air. However, the 5♥ hit the river and Abudi made trip fives which forced Kabrhel to leave the tournament area.

Sonny Franco got it in for 57,000 preflop and was looked up by Anson Tsang to create the following showdown.

Sonny Franco: A♦J♣10♦6♥ All in
Anson Tsang: A♣A♥4♥3♦

The Q♥J♠10♥ flop vaulted Franco into the lead with his two pair. Tsang had the flush draw to go with his aces but the 6♠ turn and 5♠ river kept Franco in contention.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Seth Davies opened to 10,000 in early position and picked up two callers along the way. The flop came K♥5♦4♦ and the action checked around to the J♠ on the turn.

Pei Li led out with a bet of 16,000 from the big blind and Davies was the only player to call. The K♠ paired the board on the river and Li counted out another bet of 42,000. Davies looked him up and Li turned over 8♦7♠6♣3♥ for a missed wrap. Davies held A♠A♣J♥5♥ for two pair and claimed the pot.

Moments later, Li was seen leaving the tournament area after losing the rest of his chips.
