Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Samy Barka raised to 120,000 in early position before Clement Bonnant three-bet to 925,000 on the button, leaving around 100,000 behind. Barka called.

The flop came 6?A?7? and Barka put Bonnant all in. He tanked for a minute before committing his last chips.

Clement Bonnant: A?K?
Samy Barka: A?Q?

"What are you slowrolling for," Wael Sarkis said as Bonnant showed top pair and the nut flush draw. The board ran out 5?9? and Bonnant completed his flush to double up.

"Very bad. You get that flop and you're worried about pay jumps," Sarkis added.
