Level 19: 10000/20,000 (20,000)

Robin Ganpat opened to 40,000 and found calls from Simon Horn on the button and Dennis Mercier in the big blind. The flop fell K♣8♣3♠, and after Mercier checked, Ganpat bet 58,000. Horn quickly called, but then Mercier surprised everyone with a massive 506,000 shove — a move that screamed flush draw.

Ganpat went deep into the tank, ultimately making the call for his 570,000 stack. Horn folded, and both players revealed their hands:

• Dennis Mercier: 6♣7♣ (flush draw)
• Robin Ganpat: K♦7♦ (top pair)

The turn brought the 2♠, reducing Mercier’s chances, but the river 3♣ delivered the flush, sparking a burst of excitement as Mercier banged the table and scooped a pot worth over 1.2 million.

Robin Ganpat – 65,000
Dennis Mercier – 1,220,000
