According to Bagosy, he raised to 6,500 preflop from the cutoff. Yuki Sako, the big blind, made the call. The flop came 6?5x3?. The big blind bet 45,000, with Bagosy raising all in for 268,000. Sako called, which put him at risk with the shorter stack.
Yuki Sako: AxAx
John Bagosy: A?4?
Sako's overpair was ahead, but Bagosy had multiple draws. One of those draws completed when a 2x hit on the turn, giving Bagosy a wheel. Another 2x on the river did not improve Sako's hand, and Bagosy scored the elimination.
