Cibicek Spikes River to Double Via Tekel
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Action folded to Jozef Cibicek in middle position, who opened to 3,500. Action folded to Andrej Tekel in the big blind, who reached for chips and three-bet to 13,500. After some thought, Cibicek called.
On the 6?5?8? flop, after about two minutes of consideration, Tekel moved all in, slightly covering Cibicek.
Cibicek counted out his chips and after some thought, made the call for around 35,000, to put himself at risk.
Jozef Cibicek: K?J? 
Andrej Tekel: Q?Q?
Tekel was ahead with a pair of queens, but Cibicek had the flush draw and an overcard.
The 10? turn didn't alter matters, but the 10? river gave Cibicek the king-high flush and a timely double-up, while leaving Tekel with crumbs.
