Jamil Wakil opened the pot with a raise to 12,000 from under the gun. Heinz Schlueter called in the hijack and Manel Montalban called on the button.
On the 3♣6♣10♥ flop, action checked to Montalban, who made a bet of 25,000. Wakil called before Schlueter check-raised to 77,000. Montalban called and Wakil folded.
By the time the 9♥ turn was dealt, the pot was already worth around 200,000, giving Schlueter a pot-sized shove. Schlueter pulled the trigger, pushing 192,000 into the middle and leaving Montalban with a game-changing decision to make.
Montalban called and Schlueter showed K♣Q♣ for a flush draw with overcards. At this point, Schlueter probably thought he had a lot of outs, until Montalban flipped over A♣10♣ for a higher flush draw and pair of tens.
Schlueter needed a king or queen to pull ahead, but couldn't find what he was looking for as the river came the 10♦ to further improve Montalban's hand to trip tens.
Montalban scooped in a huge pot of around 400,000 and Schlueter was eliminated from the tournament.
