Umerova Rivers a Flush, Eliminates Smith
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Action was picked up with three players engaged in an all-in showdown.
Mitchell Smith: A♣10♠
Safiya Umerova: J♠9♠
Zahor Maymon: A♠K♣
Maymon was ahead with big slick, and the flop dropping K♥5♠Q♥ strengthened his lead. But Umerova's chances to turn things around increased as well as the flop gave her outs for a straight.
She became more hopeful when the 3♠ was peeled on the turn as now she also had a flush draw.
Letting out a cheer of joy, Umerova scooped the pot for a near triple when the river fell K♠ completing her flush. Smith had no chance from the start and left the table quietly.
