Chong Spikes the River to Stun Gavriilidis
Level 4
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Heads up on a flop of 4?8?10?, Panagiotis Gavriilidis bet 60,000 from the hijack and Victor Chong called in the small blind.
The turn was the 5? and Gavriilidis moved all in for 160,000. Chong snap-called with A?A?, but Gavriilidis had K?Q? for a flush.
The 9? fell on the river and Gavriilidis shot out of his seat after Chong improved to the nut flush, letting out a few choice words in his native language before snapping a photo of the board and heading for the exit.
"You know what the odds were of hitting that spade?" tablemate Eric Afriat said to Chong.
"Very low," Chong replied with a smile.
