Verboven Back in the Lead

Filip Verboven min-raised from the button and Ruggiero Scommegna called in the big blind. A flop:

:::2s :::4s :::Kc

Scommegna checked to Verboven, who bet another 80,000. Scommegna called, and they proceeded to the turn.

Turn: :::5s

Again Scommegna checked. This time the bet from Verboven was 180,000. Scommegna took his customary few moments to think, and then made the call.

River: :::3d

Scommegna checked once more. Now it was Verboven’s turn to tank; after a little while he bet 460,000. Scommegna now tanked up for a long, long time, but eventually the chips made their way across the line. We never got to see what he was holding though. Verboven turned over :::Qs :::Js for the flush, and the pot was his.

Verboven is now back in the lead, with roughly 3 million to Scommegna’s 2 million.
