Alexis Roch after hitting a lucky flush

Level 25: 20,000/40,000 (40,000)
Entries: 27/1,992

That was a slightly weird hand!

Over at Table 19, Andrea Agnoletto raised from middle position to 85k. It folded to Alexis Roch on the button, who made it 425k, leaving himself 100k chips.

Agnoletto instantly moved all-in, expecting a rapid call. But Alexis Roch took his time. He even took so much time, that the floor was called over and he was counted down 30 seconds.

Eventually, Roch called, only to see that his A♥J♣ was utterly dominated by Agnoletto’s A♠K♥.

But Roch scored a lucky double as the dealer fanned a board of K♣Q♣3♦7♣5♣, giving Roch a flush on the river.

Andrea Agnoletto – 2,000,000
Alexis Roch – 1,200,000
