Shon Makaton got his last 280,000 into the middle preflop out of the big blind against Hyoung Chae in the hijack.

Makaton tabled Kc9c and was dominated by Chae’s AcKd. The flop was Qc7h2c and Makaton flopped a flush draw to add some equity to his hand.

The turn was the 5s, changing nothing, but the river was the Tc and Makaton rivered a flush to stay alive. He let out an expletive in celebration and collected the pot.

Shon Makaton – 860,000
Hyoung Chae – 1,400,000
