Briggs Took Down the Pot

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Semsettin Ilyas opened from middle position to 40,000. He got called by Frank Connelly on the button and Donald Briggs in the big blind. The dealer showed the flop of J♠J♦A♣.

All three players checked to see the turn K♦. Briggs put 65,000 in front of him and got called by Semsettin, while Connelly decided to move away.

On the 4♦ river, both players checked to the showdown. Briggs turned over A♦Q♦ followed by Semsettin's A♥Q♣. Briggs collected the pot as he won with a backdoor diamond flush.
