Casino Royale It is Not
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Jack Duong opened to 40,000 in middle position and received an all-in shove for around 420,000 from big blind Alejandro Andion. Duong called prompting Andion to quote Martin Kabhrel's famous line, "Casino Royale!”
Alejandro Andion: A♥K♥
Jack Duong: 10♠10♣
Once the hands were tabled, however, Andion could only wail, "No.." as the dealer flopped 9♠7♠Q♠. Andion needed one of his overcards to hit the board but Duong got additional out with a flush draw, strengthening his lead.
With the turn 8♥, more outs were given to Duong for a straight draw but Andion still had minimal outs to turn things around. Finally on the river 6♠, ended Andion's anxiety and tournament run as Duong's victory was cemented with a flush.
