Alex Foxen opened to 55,000 in middle position and both Manig Loeser and Jack Salter called from the cutoff and button respectively.

The flop landed {5-Spades}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs} and action checked to Salter who bet 71,000. Foxen folded, but Loeser called as the turn landed the {3-Diamonds}.

Loeser checked, Salter bet 88,000, and Loeser called before the river fell the {Q-Spades} and both players checked.

Salter tabled his {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for tens-up, but it would be Loeser's {K-Spades}{J-Spades} for a flush that would earn him the pot.
