Sterling Savill raised under the gun to 110,000, and Kevin Andriamahefa called from the big blind.

The flop came Kh10h2h, Andriamahefa checked, Savill bet 65,000, and Andriamahefa check-raised to 175,000. Savill called.

The turn card was the 7s, Andriamahefa bet 350,000 (most of his stack), and Savill tanked for a while before he moved all in. Andriamahefa called all in for 395,000 with 9h8h for a nine-high flush.

Savill turned over KsJh for a pair of kings with a jack-high flush draw, and Andriamahefa needed to avoid a heart on the river to stay alive.

The river card was the 6s, and Andriamahefa won the pot with his flush to double up in chips.

Kevin Andriamahefa  –  1,435,000  (29 bb)
