On the 10♠7♠4♥J♥ turn, Craig Robertson bet 4,600 and then faced the shove by Jason Nguyen for around 23,000. After a few seconds of consideration, Robertson said "I don't like it" but he called and the cards were flipped over.

Jason Nguyen: Q♠J♠ All in
Craig Robertson: 7♣7♦

Nguyen had turned top pair to go with his flush draw but needed another spade that didn't pair the board to survive. No help came with the Q♦ river and the set of sevens by Robertson secured the second knockout of the opening flight.

While the hand played out, the 2025 Borgata Fall Poker Open Championship winner Matthew Zambanini entered the field on the same table.
