Aik Chuan edges Mitsuru Sano’s flush by one


Mitsuru Sano just lost a sizable portion of his stack to Aik Chuan to bring him down to 100k in chips. Chuan raised to 8500 and Sano defended his big blind with a call. On the flop 9 7 K, Sano checked, Chuan bet 8.5k, then Sano flat-called. On the 7 turn, Chuan bet 18.5k, Sano jammed a check-raise to 40k, and Chuan called.

On the Q river, Sano jumped out with a 45k bet pausing Chuan in place. It took some time before he reached a decision, but he did make the call and opened up his 4 6 flush. Sano was dominated with his 6 5 flush.
