With the board showing Spade 7Spade 5Heart 3Heart 6 on the turn and roughly 23K already in the pot, Philip Cabana bets 10,000 from UTG. Ko Maddock moves all in from the cutoff for 31,700, and Hossein Cheraghi tanks for a while before he calls from the button. Cabana folds.

Maddock turns over Club 5Club 4 for a seven-high straight, and Cheraghi turns over Spade 10Spade 8 for a spade flush draw with a higher open-ended straight draw. Maddock needs his hand to hold to stay alive.

The river card is the Diamond 10, and the straight holds up for Maddock to win the pot and double up in chips.

Ko Maddock  –  97,000  (97 bb)
Hossein Cheraghi  –  92,000  (92 bb)
