High-Stakes Drama at partypoker Tour as Flush Draw Saves Mukit's Tournament Life
A dramatic hand unfolded at the partypoker Tour Sheffield 2026 £500 Main Event between Abdul Mukit and George Achillea. The two clashed in a high-stakes showdown with 1,247 players originally entering the NCAA tournament-style event. The tension peaked when Mukit pushed all-in with a risky drawing, only to survive and double his stack on the river.
The confrontation began when Mukit, holding Q♥J♦, moved all-in for 650,000 from under the gun. Achillea, on the button with A♣K♥, responded with a three-bet to 1,300,000, forcing the other players to fold. The flop came K♦10♦10♥, giving Achillea top pair and a strong advantage.
The turn brought the 2♦, offering Mukit a flush drawing alongside extra outs. With his tournament life on the line, he needed one of nine remaining hearts or a queen to stay alive. The A♥ on the river delivered Broadway, pairing Mukit's queen and completing his flush. The unlikely card sent the pot his way, doubling his stack to 1,400,000 while leaving Achillea with 2,300,000.
The hand shifted momentum in Mukit's favour, boosting his chip count significantly. Achillea, though still well-stacked, lost a substantial portion of his lead. The tournament continues with both players remaining in contention.
