Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Lazaro Hernandez

Lazaro Hernandez opened to 15,000 from the hijack, Justin Young called in the small blind and Joseph Cheong defended his big. The board fell {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, action checked to Cheong who moved all in for 57,000 and just Hernandez called.

Cheong tabled {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a flush draw, Hernandez turned over {k-Clubs}{j-Spades} for top pair and the lead. The {2-Clubs} on the turn and {a-Spades} on the river changed nothing and Hernandez took down the pot, eliminating Cheong.
