Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Aaron Ogus opened the action with a raise to 9,000 from early position, picking up calls from Georgi Sandev in middle position and David Wintersberger in the big blind.

The flop came 6♠4♥5♠, and Wintersberger led out for 11,000 as the first to act. Ogus got out of the way, leaving Sandev to respond by moving all in for just over 80,000. Wintersberger snap-called to put him at risk.

Georgi Sandev: 8♣8♠ All in
David Wintersberger: A♠3♠

Sandev was ahead with an overpair and a gutshot, but Wintersberger had plenty of outs with a flush draw and a gutshot of his own.

The 9♥ turn changed nothing, but the 9♠ river completed Wintersberger’s flush, sending Sandev to the rail as Wintersberger scooped the pot.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

After three players all put in 9,000 pre-flop, it checked to Ryan Kutasi who bet 10,000 and David Cabrera Polop raised to 35,000. Both Wagner Wysotchanski and Kutasi called and the three players checked the K♣ turn.

The river was the 8♠ and Wysotchanski bet 55,000. Kutasi and then Polop both folded with Wysotchanski offering Kutasi the option of selecting a card of his to show.

Kutasi selected the K♦ and Wysotchanski mucked his other card.

"That was an interesting hand," said Kutasi.
