Andrew Lichtenberger raised from the cutoff. Myles Mullaly and Mike Brinkenhoff called from the button and big blind.
On the K♦J♣5♣ flop, Brinkenhoff checked and Lichtenberger bet 4,500. Mullaly called before Brinkenhoff made it 17,000, Lichtenberger and Mullaly both called.
On the 4♠ turn, Brinkenhoff sized up to 35,000 and was again called by both players.
The 7♣ river checked to Mullaly, and he thought over his option before moving all-in for 66,500. Brinkenhoff shoved for around 82,000 and Lichtenberger snap-called for his last 66,500.
Myles Mullaly: 10♣9♣
Andrew Lichtenber: A♣K♣
Michael Brinkenhoff: 5♦5♥
Brinkenhoff had a set of fives, but was up against two flushes. Lichtenberger had the nights and he dragged in the massive pot while Mullaly was sent to the wrong side of the rail.
