Flush Over Straight for Jachtmann
Level 7
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Vadim Zakharyan was straight into the action, limping from early position, with Nino Pansier following suit in the next seat, and Jan-Peter Jachtmann and Jose Scarano came along for the ride in the blinds.
The J♦7♥2♠ flop was checked to Zakharyan, who fired out a bet of 2,400, receiving a fold from Pansier, but calls from both players in the blinds.
The 8♠ hit on the turn, and was again checked to Zakharyan, who double-barreled for 12,000.
Only Jachtmann called to see the 10♠ river, which was checked through.
Zakharyan confidently tabled 10♣9♣ for the turned straight, but Jachtmann's pocket kings had improved to a flush on the river with K♠K♥3♠4♦.
