Level 43 : Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante
Renji Mao - Matthew Elsby
Renji Mao - Matthew Elsby

Matthew Elsby limped in on the button and Renji Mao bumped it up to 8,000,000 from the big blind, which Elsby called.

The flop fanned out 8?7?6? and Mao announced all in, covering the 30,200,000 remaining for Elsby, who snap-called.

Matthew Elsby: 9?5?
Renji Mao: A?J?

Elsby flopped the nine-high straight while Mao had the nut-flush draw. The turn fell the 8? and river the 5? giving Elsby the checkmark and full double up of Mao.
