Pegman Meleknia opened to 3,500 from middle position, and Pascal Lefrancois 3-bet to 10,500 next to act. Pegman completed the call once play folded back to him, and the flop was rolled out.
Both players checked on the
flop, and again on the
turn. When the
was drawn on the river, Pegman went in with a bet of 25,000, and Pascal moved into the tank. He looked over at Pegman’s remaining 93,000 chip stack, then looked up at the dealer and said “All-in”. Pegman waisted no time throwing in a calling chip and showdown took place.
Pascal tabled
for a flush, besting his opponent’s
for a straight. He climbed up to around 280,000 chips with that hand, propelling him into second place for the time being, runner-up to Kristen Bicknell.
