Sammer Catches a Flush on the River
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Harald Sammer open-shoved in late position for around 500,000. Takaaki Suzuki in the small blind, who only had around 50,000, called.
Takaaki Suzuki: K♣Q♠
Harald Sammer: J♣9♣
Sammer was pushed ahead with a pair and had a chance to improve when the flop dropped 10♣7♣9♥. Suzuki took the lead back when the Q♥ fell on the turn, but Sammer found himself another club when the 4♣ river was dealt, completing his flush and eliminating Suzuki from the tournament.
