Serge-ing Up the Leaderboard

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Serge Chechin and two other players paid 2,750 to see a {3-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Hearts} flop. The player under the gun led the flop with a bet of 4,000, the player in early position folded, and Chechin called from late position.

The turn was the {a-Diamonds}, and Chechin called a bet of 6,100 from his opponent. The river was the {8-Diamonds}, and the under-the-gun player fired a third barrel worth 6,100. Chechin picked up a few orange T5,000 chips and raised to 15,000. His opponent took only a moment before calling, then mucked when Chechin tabled {5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a backdoor flush.
