Mack Makes a Bigger Flush Against Runcan
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Paul Runcan opened the button to 65,000 and Adrian Mack called from the big blind.
The flop came down A?10?A? and both players checked, then Mack said. "Is there a pay jump yet?".
On the 3? turn, Mack led out for 50,000 and Runcan raised to 200,000. Mack immediately called.
A 5? on the river put a fourth diamond on board, and Mack checked it over. Runcan then fired 300,000, and Mack snap-called.
Runcan showed 7?6? for a flush, and Mack turned over the A? first and then the J?. "Thank god I had the jack," said Mack.
"You called before you knew you had it?" asked Georgios Vrakas.
"I wouldn't be playing an EPT Main Event if I didn't know what I had," replied Mack.
