With the board showing Spade 6Club 3Club 2Heart 6 on the turn, Gabriel Abusada bets 7,000 from the small blind, Anees Puri raises from the cutoff to 18,000, and Abusada tanks for a while before he three-bets all in for roughly 20,000.

Puri quickly calls with Spade 3Heart 3 for a full house, threes full of sixes.

Abusada is reluctant to turn over his cards, saying he is drawing dead, but then he says, “Oh wait, I have a straight-flush draw” and he shows Club 5Club 4 for a now-worthless six-high straight with an open-ended straight-flush draw.

The river card is the Club 9, and Puri wins the pot with his full house to eliminate Abusada.

Anees Puri  –  85,000  (425 bb)
Gabriel Abusada  –  Eliminated
