Emmanuel Dimaano, Jr. raised UTG+1 to 8,000, the player on the button moved all in for 43,500, and Dimaano called with KhKc.

The button turned over As3s, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came 8c7s7h4s6d — the button turned a spade flush draw, but improved no further. Dimaano won the pot with his pocket kings to eliminate his opponent from Flight C.

Emmanuel Dimaano, Jr.  –  385,000  (128 bb)
