Flush Surprises Luo

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Xixiang Luo open-shoved all-in for 410,000 and Carlos Saucedo made the call taking them to showdown.

Xixiang Luo: K♦8♦ All in
Carlos Saucedo: A♣Q♠

There was a slight commotion happening in the background that distracted the players at the table when the board ran 9♠2♦7♠J♦A♦.

Both Saucedo and Luo looked disheartened when the last card was dealt, only for the latter to realize that he had won it with a flush.

The dealer picked up his hand and turned it over, about to muck his hand when Luo stopped his hand gently to say he had a flush. The dealer awarded the pot to Luo, leaving Saucedo with only a big blind and a half.

Saucedo was eliminated a few hands later.

Gaelle Jaudon

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

David Jackson raised under the gun and it folded to Joshua Abiscott who defended his big blind.

The flop showed 10♥K♣2♥ and Abiscott checked to Jackson who continued 150,000, in a pot worth 220,000. Abiscott shoved for around 800,000 and Jackson made the call:

Joshua Abiscott: 10♣2♣ All in
David Jackson: A♥7♥

Abiscott had hit two pair, but Jackson had a flush draw. The Q♦ didn't change anything on the turn but a 6♥ landed on the river to give the winning hand to Jackson and send Abiscott to the payout.
