Jeffrey Ishbia raises from the button to 45,000, Chino Rheem reraises from the big blind to 120,000, and Ishbia calls.

The flop comes [5c4s3s], Rheem bets 120,000, and Ishbia calls.

The turn is the [6s], Rheem checks, Ishbia bets 250,000, and Rheem moves all in. Ishbia tanks for a while before he calls all in for about 670,000.

Rheem shows [AsKc] for an ace-high flush draw, and Ishbia turns over [Ad5d] for a pair of fives. (There is also an open-ended straight draw on the board for the possibility of a chop.)

The river is the [10s], giving Chino Rheem a spade flush to win the pot and eliminate Jeffrey Ishbia in 15th place.

Chino Rheem  –  2,600,000  (130 bb)
Jeffrey Ishbia  –  Out in 15th Place  ($49,210)
