Ayman Sawaged opened for 6,500 from middle position and got two callers in Micah Raskin from a seat over and Michael Ryan on the button.
The flop came 
. Sawaged continued for 11,500, Raskin quickly made it 25,000 to go, then Ryan declared he was all in without missing a beat. Sawaged folded, and after thinking a bit Raskin called.
Raskin had 
for top pair, but Ryan had a set with his 
.
"Yes!" Ryan cried, pumping his fist and stepping away from the table momentarily. Then came the turn — the 
— and a sudden sweat for Ryan as Raskin could still make a winning flush. But the river was the 
, and Ryan survived.
