With the board showing Ad5c4cKd on the turn, Jeff Silverstein moved all in for 1,335,000, and Kevin Ruscitti asked for an exact count and tanked for a while before he called with a slightly larger stack saying he would gamble.

Ruscitti showed 10d8d for a diamond flush draw, and Silverstein turned over Ah10h for a pair of aces. Silverstein needed to avoid a diamond on the river to stay alive.

The river card was the Kh, and Silverstein won the pot with two pair, aces and kings, to double up in chips.

Jeff Silverstein  –  3,470,000  (35 bb)
Kevin Ruscitti  –  65,000  (<1 bb)
