Diachok's Flopped Set Flushed Away by Di Giacomo

Kai Cocklin

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

There were around 60,000 chips in the middle on a board of K♦Q♠2♣5♣ when Nazar Diachok checked it over to Claudio Di Giacomo, who bet 50,000. Diachok then raised to 150,000, and Di Giacomo called.

When the 7♣ landed on the river, the rest of the chips went into the middle with Di Giacomo having the slightly covering stack of around 300,000.

Diachok showed A♠Q♦2♦2♥ for a flopped set, but that was no good as Di Giacomo had rivered a flush holding K♣8♥6♠3♣.

Robert Wirth raised to 35,000 under the gun, Thi Pham moved all in from the big blind, and Wirth called for 156,000.

Robert Wirth: A♥A♠Q♠Q♦
Thi Pham: Q♣Q♥J♣6♥

Wirth had Pham crushed with his aces as Pham had no queens left in the deck to hit. The board ran out J♠5♥2♠4♦8♠ and Wirth improved to a flush to earn the double up.

"Wow, I wish I got hands like that," tablemate Gediminas Grigas said.

"You have to wait at least three hours," Wirth replied.

Heads-up on a flop of 9♣8♣7♠, Patrick Bueno bet enough from middle position to put Godefridus van Veghel all in, and Van Veghel called for his last 120,000.

Godefridus van Veghel: A♣Q♦10♥7♣ All in
Patrick Bueno: K♥J♦10♣10♦

Bueno had flopped the nut straight, while Van Veghel had a higher straight draw and a flush draw. The board ran out 5♦K♠ and Van Veghel missed everything as he was sent to the rail.

Andrej Desset was also eliminated shortly after returning from dinner.

Level 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Nebojsa Musulin raised to 20,000 in middle position and Gediminas Grigas called in the cutoff. Fragkiskos Vidalis then three-bet to 88,000 in the small blind and both opponents called.

The flop came K♣J♠5♠ and Vidalis moved all in for 132,000. Musulin quickly folded, but Grigas called.

Fragkiskos Vidalis: A♣K♠5♣2♠ All in
Gediminas Grigas: K♦J♥9♦2♥

"Finally, I can go to dinner. It's a flip," Grigas said once the cards were revealed. He was ahead with kings and jacks against Vidalis' kings and fives, but the 3♠ turn gave Vidalis the nut flush. The river was the 10♥ and Vidalis doubled up, leaving Grigas on an extreme short stack.
