Mir Hits a Straight Flush

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Josep Galindo completed from the small blind and [Removed:108] raised to 12,000 in the big blind. Galindo called.

They both checked on the {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{J-Hearts} flop. After the {6-Hearts} came on the turn, Galindo bet 15,000 and Mir called.

The {J-Clubs} on the river completed the board, and now Galindo bet 40,000 only to see Mir snap-call. Galindo showed two of his cards which were {K-Spades}{9-Spades} for two pair, jacks and nines with the king as the kicker. Mir showed {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs} initially for the ace-high flush, but then also showed his other two cards to reveal {A-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. He did not realize that he had hit a straight flush until the rest of the table pointed it out to him. Either way, his hand was good.

Kooij Triples Up

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Teun Kooij shoved all in for his remaining 3,000 and was called by Sergio Fernandez and Josep Galindo in the blinds.

They both checked all the way through the {3-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{8-Clubs} board with Fernandez taking the side pot. And Kooij was awarded the main pot as he showed {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a flush, worth a triple up.

Lakhov Wins The Pot

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Alexander Lakhov limped in from the cutoff, as did Teun Kooij from the button. Andreas Klatt completed from the small blind and Sergio Fernandez in the big blind raised to 16,000. Lakhov and Kooij both called and Klatt folded.

They checked through the {J-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} on the flop and the {8-Spades} on the turn. The {J-Spades} on the river completed the board and Fernandez checked. Lakhov bet 12,000 and both Kooij and Fernandez called. Lakhov showed {J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} for trip jacks and the others mucked their hands.

Sergio Fernandez
Sergio Fernandez

Sergio Fernandez raised to 8,000 from the under-the-gun position and was called by Alexander Lakhov.

They both checked through the {9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} on the flop. The turn brought them the {6-Hearts}, now Fernandez bet 12,000 and was called again by Lakhov.

The {Q-Diamonds} on the river completed the board. Fernandez bet 37,000 and Lakhov snap-called. Fernandez showed {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for trip sixes. Lakhov looked at his cards, sort of mucked and then counted out the chips for Fernandez.

In the end, Lakhov still showed his red aces to the table before they went into the muck.

Caranica Eliminated Despite Having the "Prettiest Hand"

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

It was all in pre-flop between Vasile Stancu and Philipp Caranica.

Stancu: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Caranica: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

The flop came {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades} giving Caranica top pair plus a straight draw. The turn was the {6-Diamonds} giving him a flush draw to go with it.

"Wow," said tablemate Michael Magalashvili, "What a sweat!"

The river was the blank {2-Spades} and Caranica was eliminated.

"Unlucky man," said Magalashvili. "At least you died with the prettiest hand!"
