With the board showing Diamond 6Diamond 5Spade 4Diamond 9 on the turn and more than 37,000 already in the pot, Dan Shak moves all in from the small blind for 93,600.

Zhen Cai (with about 145,000) asks for an exact count on the button and tanks for a while before he calls with Diamond 7Diamond 4 for a seven-high flush with an open-ended straight-flush draw.

Shak turns over Spade 7Spade 5 for a pair of fours with an open-ended straight draw, and he’s drawing dead.

The meaningless river card is the Diamond J, and Cai wins the pot with his flush to eliminate Shak.

Zhen Cai  –  275,000  (229 bb)
