Magalashvili Delivers Soul Crushing Beat
A player opened to 50,000 from middle position and was called by Michael Magalashvili in late position. Action then folded to Luc Bindel in the big blind and he three-bet to 230,000. That got a fold from the original raiser but Magalashvili made the call to see a flop.
Bindel continued for 150,000 on a flop of 
and was called by Magalashvili.
The 
turn saw Bindel push all in for a little over 700,000, a move that sent Magalashvili into the tank. After some time he made the call with the covering stack to put Bindel at risk.
Luc Bindel: 
Michael Magalashvili: 
Bindel was in a good spot to secure a huge double but would need to fade his opponent's straight outs as well as the last two sevens in the deck. The river came 
to complete Magalashvili's straight and send Bindel to the rail in brutal fashion. Magalashvili, meanwhile, scooped a massive pot to send him to the top of the chip counts by some margin.
