Hand #221: Vadim Trincher Wins WPT Foxwoods! ($731,079)

Filippi raises to 175,000, and Trincher calls. The flop comes [Js5s5d], Trincher checks, Filippi bets 300,000, and Trincher check-raises to 800,000. Amnon thinks for about 20 seconds before he moves all in. Trincher asks for an exact count (1,050,000 more) before he calls with [7s6s] (flush draw). Filippi shows [Jc4d] (two pair, jacks and fives), and he’ll need it to hold to stay alive.

The turn card is the [8s], and Trincher makes his spade flush. Filippi needs a jack or a five on the river to stay alive with a full house.

The river card is the [Ks], and Vadim Trincher wins the pot — and the tournament — with a spade flush.

Amnon Filippi finishes as the runner up, earning $409,405.
