Preflop, Gerome Guitteau opened to 52,000 and Richard Lancaster called from the button. Ke Sijia and Assadour Assadourian also got in on the action from the blinds and they went four handed to a {7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} flop.

Sijia checked as first to act, and then Assadourian moved all in for about 135,000. Guitteau was the next to act and he made it 500,000. Lancaster wanted no part of it and he folded, before Sijia went into the tank.

After a while he announced, "Fold" before flipping over {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for an ace high flush draw. The crowd was amazed.

Guitteau rolled over {7-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for two pair, and Assadourian turned over {Q-Clubs}{j-Spades} for top pair.

"Give us an a jack or a queen please dealer," said Eric Assadourian from the rail. The dealer turned the {2-Clubs}.

"Ok then another two please," Eric pleaded.

The dealer wasn't obliging flipping the {4-Spades} on the river.

Assadour Assadourian will depart with NZ$23,670. Gerome Guitteau is up to 1,700,000.
