Russo Binks Flush in Enormous Pot

Frank Visser

Level 25 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Salvatore Russo raised to 40,000 from early position before Muhamet Perati three-bet to 140,000 in the small blind. Yossi Maymon cold-called in the big blind and Russo matched the raise as well, going to a flop of 10♥3♥5♠.

It was checked to Russo, who bet 205,000. Perati then jammed all in for 905,000, and Maymon made a quick fold. Russo called with the covering stack, however, and the cards went face-up.

Muhamet Perati: A♦5♦ All in
Salvatore Russo: A♥8♥

Cheers erupted from the rail as the K♥ hit the turn, making Russo his flush and securing him the pot. The J♥ river brought him a useless bonus heart as Perati awaited his payout.

Russo was shipped the pot and ended up with a stack of nearly 150 big blinds.

The action was caught on a turn of 2♣2♦5♠2♥, where Davide Castellani checked from the big blind to Jakub Sterba in middle position. Sterba bet 200,000 into the pot of 300,000, which was called by Castellani.

Sterba sized up to 450,000 on the 10♣ river. Castellani mulled it over a bit but eventually tossed in a call. Sterba tabled Q♦10♦ for deuces full of tens and was awarded the pot when Castellani mucked his cards.
