After a flop of Jd9d2d, Stewart Yancik checked the small blind, Neil Zonenashvili checked from UTG, and James Patterson moved all in from the hijack for about 550,000.

Yancik folded, and Zonenashvili called with Kd10d for a flopped king-high flush.

Patterson turned over 10s10c, and he needed to improve to stay alive.

The turn card was the Jc, the river card was the 5d, and Zonenashvili won the pot with his flush to eliminate Patterson in ninth place.

Neil Zonenashvili  –  5,010,000  (100 bb)
