Seth Berger and Kevin Eyster checked out of the blinds to Michael Gagliano on the button, who fired 1,800 on the {2-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{4-Spades} flop. Berger thought for a bit before folding, and Eyster immediately pushed his remaining 7,000 or so forward. Gagliano snap-called.

Gagliano: {2-Spades}{2-Hearts}
Eyster: {j-Spades}{8-Spades}

"There it is," someone at the table said as the dealer flipped over the {2-Clubs} for the turn, rendering Eyster's flush draw meaningless. A six completed the board, and Eyster was ousted.
