Roiter and Gandhi Play a Big Flip
Shishir Gandhi opened up to 7,000 from early position and Klemens Roiter three-bet the cutoff to 24,000. When it got back to Gandhi, he put in a four-bet to 55,000. Roiter didn't need too long to think before he shoved for 233,000, which gave Gandhi a tough decision.
After confirming the count, Gandhi counted out his own stack and had a little over 320,000 in front of him. A few moments later, he announced a call.
Klemens Roiter: A♥K♣ 
Shishir Gandhi: Q♥Q♠
Gandhi had the edge with his pocket queens, but had to fade the dreaded overcards to in the pot, and if he did so, he would have heaps in front of him. Roiter took a sip of coffee then watched the dealer put out a flop of 9♦4♦8♠, which wasn't great news for the Austrian player.
However, what was great news for Roiter was seeing the A♠ land on the turn, which gave him top pair and left him one card away from a huge double-up. No drama arrived on the 5♦ river, and Gandhi was forced to cough up the chips and send them across the table.
