Two cards were exposed as players were folding, the 7c and the 5c. Lam Tran moved all in from the small blind for 2,350,000, and David Frenkel waited for an exact count before he called from the big blind with Ac10d.

Tran turned over Qh6h, and he needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came KdKc8c3cQc, and Tran caught a queen on the river, but the same card gave Frenkel an ace-high flush to win the pot and eliminate Tran in 15th place.
