Jordan Meltzer limped the button, Josias Santos completed in the small blind, and Phong Nguyen checked his option in the big.

All three players checked through the Ts5h3c flop. The turn was the 2h, and it checked to Meltzer, who bet 16,000. Santos folded, but Nguyen check-raised to 42,000, and Meltzer called. The river was the 7s, and Meltzer called a final bet of 75,000 from Nguyen.

At showdown, Nguyen’s Th5s was best, and he won the pot with tens up.

Phong Nguyen – 335,000 (34 bb)
Jordan Meltzer – 585,000 (59 bb)
