, and the action checked to Phua, who fired 65,000. Mizrachi and Sexton both folded, and Negreanu raised to 200,000. Both blinds released, and Phua tank-called.
Both players checked after the 
turned, and the 
completed the board. Phua led for 300,000, and Negreanu thought for a bit, then called.
"Flush," Phua announced, tabling 
.
