In what looked like a reraised pot, Josh Hergott checked in the cutoff and Keith Thurman bet what looked like 700 on the button with {a-Hearts}{3-Spades}{q-Diamonds} having flopped. Hergott called and then check-called a further 2,000 on the {6-Hearts} turn. On the {k-Hearts} river, Hergott checked a final time. Thurman bet 3,500 and Hergott thought a bit and then called.

Thurman turned over {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for bottom pair and Hergott tabled {q-Spades}{j-Spades} to scoop up the pot.
