Picking up the action on the turn on a board of 8♦9♣5♦10♠, Paul Esau, who came sixth in the Global Poker Championship earlier in the series, was all in against Sergej Babincev.
Esau had A♠A♣ for pocket aces, and Babincev had K♦6♦ for a flush draw with outs for the straight. The river came the 3♦ and Babinchev completed his flush to win the pot, sending Esau to the rail.
