Ciccarelli Cracks Aces With Runner Runner Flush

Just a few hands after eliminating Victor Bershinsky (5♣5♠>A♣K♥), John Ciccarelli raised to approximately 1,000,000 after Sebastien Comel's open. When the other players folded, Comel moved all-in and got called immediately.

Sebastien Comel: A♥A♠
John Ciccarelli: A♦K♦

Comel had the perfect opportunity to join the chipleaders' group. And it started well for him, with a 5♥J♦K♠ flop. But the 6♦ came on the turn, followed by the 7♦, which completed Ciccarelli's flush.

Very disappointed, Comel looked in the air for a few seconds before leaving the area.

Up to 8,000,000 chips, Ciccarelli held the chip lead only a few minutes because on the next hand, it was his turn to run into a flush. In a developed pot, he lost against Koray Aldemir's K♦8♦ on 9♦7♠6♦10♦J♣. Both players now have around 5,500,000 chips.
