Vince Baldassano raised to 5,500 from middle position, Pradeep Deshpande called from a seat over, then Chris Klodnicki reraised to 17,400 from the big blind. Baldassano called the reraise, and after some thought Deshpande folded.
The flop came 
, and Klodnicki led with a bet of 15,000. Baldassano raised to 38,000, and after a pause Klodnicki called the raise. Both then checked the 
turn.
The river brought the 
and a bet of 40,000 from Klodnicki. Baldassano exhaled. "Either I'm beat or I'm good," he said, and carved out the chips to call.

. Baldassano was indeed good, as he tabled his 
to claim the pot.

Raskin had for top pair, but Ryan had a set with his
