Pliashko Triples Up with Royal Flush
Niveau 31
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Martino Cito opened to 175,000 from the cutoff and Ihar Pliashko called from the big blind for less, committing his entire stack of 160,000 to put himself at risk.
Ihar Pliashko: A♣Q♣8♠6♥
Martino Cito: A♠9♠9♦6♣
The flop came J♣10♣3♥ giving Pliashko a plethora of outs over Cito's pair of nines. The K♣ turn improved Pliashko to a Royal flush leaving Cito drawing dead. The 8♥ river changed nothing and Pliashko secured slightly more than a full triple up.
