Four players put about 90K into the pot before the flop came 10h5s3d.

Action checked to James Blazek, who bet 17,000 from UTG+1. Tanner Enoch called from the hijack, Zachary Eichenbaum called from the small blind, and Paul Fisher folded the big blind.

The turn card was the Jd, and Eichenbaum moved all in for 152,000. Blazek called, and Tanner folded.

Eichenbaum turned over Ad5d for a pair of fives with a diamond flush draw, and he needed to improve to stay alive against Blazek’s JsJh (set of jacks).

The river card was the Qd, and Eichenbaum won the pot with a diamond flush to double up in chips.

Zachary Eichenbaum  –  395,000  (49 bb)
James Blazek  –  73,000  (9 bb)
