After the 9A8 flop, it checked to Menneto who bet out 1,100. The button called, both the blinds folded, before Hou raised to 4,800. Menneto made the call, and the player on the button folded.

The turn was the 8 and Hou bet out 5,500, and Menneto raised to 25,000.

Before the river, Hou bet out 1,000 in the dark, and once the 7 hit the felt, Menneto snap called and turned over A4 for a rivered flush. But Hou had the best hand when he tabled A8 for a full house, eights full aces to take the pot and nearly double up.
