With the board showing Js3s2sAd on the turn and 90K in the pot, Timothy Banks checked the big blind, and Melisa Singh pot-bet 90,000 with about 30,000 remaining behind.

Banks went into the tank for a while, at one point saying, “I have one of my own outs.”

Banks eventually folded JcJd4d2d face up for a set of jacks with a gutshot straight draw. Singh showed two cards — Ks7s for a spade flush — as she took the pot.

“Nice fold,” said Singh. “I’m never bluffing there.”

Seat 1.  Melisa Singh  –  210,000  (42 bb)
Seat 2.  David Prociak  –  310,000  (62 bb)
Seat 3.  Timothy Banks  –  180,000  (36 bb)

A short while later, after a limped three-way flop of Jd5d3s with 15K in the pot, Melisa Singh checked the small blind, David Prociak bet 10,000, and Banks bet the pot. Singh folded, Prociak moved all in, and Banks called all in for 105,000.

David Prociak:  9c6d3d3h  (set of threes, six-high flush draw)
Timothy Banks:  10d10c6h4d  (pair of tens, ten-high flush draw, straight draw)

The turn card was the 7h, the river was the Qs, and Banks turned a seven-high straight to win the pot and double up in chips.

Seat 1.  Melisa Singh  –  270,000  (54 bb)
Seat 2.  David Prociak  –  205,000  (41 bb)
Seat 3.  Timothy Banks  –  225,000  (45 bb)

With three players remaining, the average chip stack is about 233,000 (47 big blinds), and the next player to bust will earn $11,675.
