Nick Yunis raised from middle position to 34,000, Eric Siegel called from the small blind, and Nick Palma called from the big blind.

The flop came Kd10d9d, and it checked to Yunis, who bet 35,000. Siegel check-raised to 95,000, and Palma folded.

Yunis tanked for a long time before he folded. Yunis said he made a huge fold, and both players agreed to show their cards.

Yunis showed QsJs for a flopped king-high straight, and then Siegel turned over QdJc for the same straight with a diamond flush draw.

Eric Siegel  –  455,000  (28 bb)
