Mack Makes a Bigger Flush Against Runcan

Kai C

Niveau 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Paul Runcan opened the button to 65,000 and Adrian Mack called from the big blind.

The flop came down A♦10♦A♠ and both players checked, then Mack said. "Is there a pay jump yet?".

On the 3♦ turn, Mack led out for 50,000 and Runcan raised to 200,000. Mack immediately called.

A 5♦ on the river put a fourth diamond on board, and Mack checked it over. Runcan then fired 300,000, and Mack snap-called.

Runcan showed 7♦6♦ for a flush, and Mack turned over the A♥ first and then the J♦. "Thank god I had the jack," said Mack.

"You called before you knew you had it?" asked Georgios Vrakas.

"I wouldn't be playing an EPT Main Event if I didn't know what I had," replied Mack.
