Paster Turns a Full House

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Virgile Turchi limped under the gun and three others joined him after - Mitchell Hynam, David Capon, Thomas Brabham. Brandon Paster in the big blind checked his option leading all five players to the flop.

The flop came J♣5♣7♥. After a check from Paster, Turchi fired 60,000. Action folded back to Paster who announced all-in for 160,000. Turchi called taking them to showdown.

Brandon Paster: A♦J♦8♦7♦5♠ All in
Virgile Turchi: 9♠8♠8♥7♣6♣

Paster had flopped a two-pair but Turchi was hoping to improve with a straight draw. The dealer peeled the J♠ turn, improving Paster to a full house and leaving Turchi way behind. The 2♥ river was a formality.

Paster scooped the pot for a double leaving Turchi with only 8,000 chips. He was eliminated soon after.

Sebestyen Flops Two-Pair

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With around 200,000 in the pot and a 5♠2♥8♣ flop, Balint Sebestyen shoved all-in from middle position, and Abhijith Cheruku, his heads-up opponent to his left, called.

Abhijith Cheruku: A♠A♦K♥6♥2♠ All in
Balint Sebestyen: A♥K♠9♠8♥5♣

Cheruku had pocket aces but Sebestyen caught a two-pair on the flop. The dealer peeled a 7♦ turn then showed a Q♠ river which didn't give Cheruku any aid at all. There was a slight confusion as to who won at the table but after it was resolved, Cheruku left the table as Sebestyen scooped the massive pot.
