Shai Arbel Has the Superior Flush

Level 11: 1,500 / 2,500 ante: 2,500

Shai Arbel

The evening is winding down with fewer than 160 players remaining, the field for an above average stack continues. Shai Arbel check-raises a bet of Emmanuel Segismundo on the Q♠ J♠ 9♠ flop from 6,500 to 15,000.

Arbel then leads the 4♦ turn for Segismundo to call again and they check the 8♠ river when the fourth spade arrives. Segismundo shakes his head, Arbel tables J♣ 6♠ and Segismundo mucks while partly exposing the five of spades.
