Level 6 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Punnat Punsri
Punnat Punsri

Four players saw the flop of 4♦A♦4♥ with 40,000 in the pot. Action was checked to Klemens Roiter in the cutoff who bet out for 7,000. He found calls from Michael Brinkenhoff in the small blind and Punnat Punsri in the hijack. Matthew Zambanini folded from the big blind.

The K♣ peeled off on the turn and Brinkenhoff checked to Punsri, who went into the tank before he bet out for 22,000. Roiter made the call as did Brinkenhoff.

The river brought the K♦ and Brinkenhoff checked once more to Punsri who bet out for 118,000 which left him just 1,000 behind. Roiter folded quickly and Brinkenhoff double checked the count before he made the call and tabled J♦7♦ for a rivered flush which had Punsri's A♠Q♦ crushed and Brinkenhoff was pushed the pot.
