Mike Chiappetta raised from the small blind to 65,000, and Maxwell Young called from the big blind.

The flop came 10c9s8c, Chiappetta checked, Young bet 125,000, and Chiappetta check-raised all in for 330,000.

Young quickly called with Kc5c for a club flush draw, and Chiappetta turned over Ac8d for a pair of eights. Chiappetta needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The turn card was the 10h, the river card was the 4s, and Chiappetta won the pot with two pair, tens and eights, to double up in chips.

Mike Chiappetta  –  680,000  (34 bb)
