Zachary Donovan (left) and Scott Wright (right)

Three players were involved in what would become a substantial pot after a TsTc7c flop.

Zachary Donovan checked from the big blind, and Scott Wright bet 30,000 under the gun. Scott Chastain called from a couple seats over, and Donovan check-raised all in for 42,500 total. Wright wanted to re-shove, but the betting was not reopened for him to do so. He called, and Chastain did so, too.

The turn was the 3c, and Wright moved all in for 97,000 effective. Chastain called all in for that amount, putting himself at risk, too.

Donovan: QhTh
Wright: AdTd
Chastain: QcJc

Chastain had turned a flush, and he needed to fade both opponents’ draws to their full houses.

The river was the blank Jd, though, and Chastain won the pot with the nut flush.

Donovan was eliminated in 115th place, putting the field on the direct money bubble. Only 114 of them will earn a payout.

Scott Chastain – 280,000 (56 bb)
Scott Wright – 75,000 (15 bb)
Zachary Donovan – Eliminated
