Angelo Miele raised UTG+1 to 2,900, Fabio Santos moved all in from the cutoff for 26,200, and Miele thought for a while before he called with 6d5s. Santos turned over AhJh, and needed it to hold to stay alive.

The board came Qh7d2s3h8h, and Miele turned a gutshot straight draw, but improved no further. Santos won the pot with a rivered heart flush to double up in chips.

Fabio Santos  –  55,400  (46 bb)
Angelo Miele  –  288,000  (240 bb)
