Machado Jams into the Nuts; De Necker Triple Barrel Bluff Backfires

In the dying embers of the previous level, Virgile Turchi opened to 80,000 from under the gun and called when Hugo Machado three-bet to 200,000 from the button.

Action checked through to the river for the final board to read K♠9♠7♠A♠6♠. Turchi, with just under 1,000,000, checked and snap-called when Machado jammed as the bigger stack.

Machado had A♦A♥ but played the flush on the board, while Turchi had the nuts with A♣Q♠. Macahdo was left short and was eliminated shortly after.

As that hand played out, Ankit Ahuja felted Pieter De Necker on another table. The latter limped in from under the gun and Ahuja checked his option from the big blind.

De Necker, fired bets on the flop and turn, and ripped it in on the river on the K♠2♣4♦3♣7♠ board. Ahuja called as the bigger stack. De Necker had 5x5x, while Ahuja had the winner with K♦Q♦.
