Bromfman Hits a Flush to Bust Rafael
Level 6
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Jonathan Azoulay raised to 7,000 in middle position and Sean Rafael called in the hijack. Pedro Bromfman then reraised to 23,500 in the big blind, and both Azoulay and Rafael called.
The flop came 7♦6♦Q♥ and Bromfman bet 73,000. Azoulay folded, while Rafael called for his last 45,000.
Sean Rafael: A♥K♣9♥8♥
Pedro Bromfman: A♦A♣10♦3♦
As the other players at the table began calling out what cards Rafael needed, the 8♣ fell on the turn to give him a pair and more outs. The 9♦ river improved him to two pair, but Bromfman made a flush to win the pot and send Rafael to the rail.
"PLO runouts have cost me a year of my life," tablemate Maximilian Schindler observed.
