Back on Table 1, Chris Holmes comes limping in under the gun. Greg Raymer and Teresa Nousiainen follow suit, and action is on the short-stacked Emad Tahtouh in the small blind. He moves all in for his last 1,725 chips. Holmes re-raises all-in, and ends up isolating himself against the at-risk Tahtouh.

Tahtouh:
"Best case scenario," says Tahtouh, as the two men await the community cards. The flop comes out , giving Tahtouh both a straight draw and a flush draw to go with his overcards. The turn seals the deal as the rips off, giving Tahtouh the nut flush. He earns a double up plus a few extra chips, and he now sits with 4,050.
