Niko Platis raised to 2,000 from early position and the player next to act re-raised to 8,000. The player on the button called and both of the blinds called.

Platis came along and they went five handed to the {9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop.

The small blind checked and Sheldon Gross fired out a bet of 15,400. It folded to the player on the button who moved all in for 76,900 and Gross called.

Sheldon Gross: {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

The dealer burned and turned the {9-Clubs} and Gross improved to trip nines to take the lead while his opponent picked up the nut flush draw.

The {6-Diamonds} river was no help to the player on the button who was sent to the rail and Gross dragged in the sizeable pot.
