Ashish Gupta: XxXx/2♦8♥Xx - folded on fifth street

Tomasz Gluszko: A♥K♥6♥/9♥A♠2♠J♥

Ashish Gupta brought in, Nacho Barbero completed, and Tomasz Gluszko two-bet. Both Gupta and Barbero called to fifth street, where Gluszko bet when he caught an ace.

Gupta and Babero tossed in calls to fifth street. Gluszko kept firing, quickly folding out Gupta. Barbero raised, however, and Gluszko called. Barbero bet sixth street, with Gluszko calling to seventh street.

Seventh street saw Barbero check, after which Gluszko tossed in a bet. Barbero quickly called to force a showdown.

"Flush. Casino Royale," Gluszko stated as he fanned an ace-high flush. Barbero showed only the queen of hearts before he sent his seven cards to the muck in defeat.

Tomasz Gluszko: XxXx/Q♦2♦A♦
Jason Mercier: XxXx/2♥4♠7♦ - folded on fifth street

One hand later, Gluszko completed, and Jason Mercier raised. Gluszko called to fourth street, which he checked over to Mercier. Mercier bet, and Gluszko called.

Gluszko led out when he caught his third diamond on fifth street, and Mercier did not take long before he forfeited the pot by mucking his cards.
