Selahaddin Bedir was all in for around 2,500 from the cutoff and was up against Daniel Koloszar under the gun and big blind Niko Koop.
The flop came 7♦8♥5♦ and Koop led out for 4,500. Koloszar called to create a side pot as the 3♥ fell on the turn.
Koop then moved all in for 12,500 and Koloszar called. Koop showed K♥9♥ for a flush draw, Koloszar had A♥J♥ for a higher flush draw, while Bedir found himself still in front with 4♥4♠ and needed to dodge the river to survive.
The Q♣ fell on the river and Bedir scooped the main pot to triple up, while Koloszar sent Koop to the rail to bust his stack past 120,000.

A massive pot of around 28,000 was already in the middle as Priit Parmasto and Brandon Leetz went to the turn on a board of 9♣2♦6♣6♦.
Parmasto, on the button, then moved all in for 39,000 as Leetz began kneeling on his chair and leaning over the table.
"Call or fold," he asked Parmasto.
"I don't know what I have. Up to you," Parmasto replied.
Leetz eventually tossed in a chip to call and turned over 10♣10♠. Parmasto, though, had K♥K♠ and held on through the J♣ river to secure the double up.
"Because the flush draw? I do it with a flush draw as well," Parmasto reassured Leetz.
"You would do the same with a flush draw?" a tablemate asked.
"Of course. Who wouldn't?" Parmasto replied.

Aren Bezhanyan three-bet to 4,100 on the button before Fabrice Bigot, under the gun, four-bet to 11,000.
Bezhanyan called to the 8♣7♦9♥ flop as Bigot sat motionless for a minute before checking. Bezhanyan also took his time until checking back.
The turn came the K♠ and Bigot again paused for a moment before tapping the felt. Bezhanyan used up a few minutes before he checked to the K♥ turn.
Bigot checked again and Bezhanyan then slowly bet 8,500. Bigot tanked once more, then emerged with a raise to 21,000. It was then Bezhanyan's turn to use up some more time as he gathered his stack into a tower, then looked over at Bigot to check for a reaction.
Bigot gave off none and Bezhanyan eventually folded in a hand that took nearly 10 minutes off the clock.
