Diamonds are Corront's Best Friend

Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

In three-way action to the K?8?5? flop, the action checked to Merwan Corront and he bet 50,000 in the hijack. Brett Toker moved all-in from the small blind and Gareth Kalil reluctantly folded, while Corront pushed forward his near identical stack for the call.
Merwan Corront: A?Q?
Brett Toker: A?K?
The 10? turn instantly gave Corront the nut flush to make the 5? river a formality. He doubled for 212,000 and Toker was left with 3,000. One table over, his son Ricky Toker got a shove through and the father was then all-in soon after.
Multi way to the K?5?2?J?K? river, Patrice Ah-Nien min-bet to isolate and his J?4? beat the A?6? of Toker.
