Heads-up play between Anesti Kocini and Jean-Hugo Robitaille didn’t last very long, as a few hands into their battle, they both picked up a hand they weren’t ready to let go of.
The button was on Jean-Hugo when he opened the action to 650,000. Anesti made the call, and they took a walk to first street. On a flop showing 
, Anesti check-raised the 600,000 bet up to 1,300,000. Jean-Hugo then replied with a 3bet to 3,000,000, and quickly called the 4bet all-in.
Jean-Hugo tabled 
, for top pair and a flush draw, but he was trailing the 
of Anesti. The turn 
changed nothing, however the river 
completed Jean-Hugo’s flush, securing him the win in this opening event of the Playground Poker Fall Classic.
Jean-Hugo pocketed $32,557 for his victory, as well as a Playground Poker Fall Classic Champion’s trophy, while Anesti went home with a not too shabby $22,000 runner-up prize.
Congratulations!
