Aram Zobian opened to 6,500 from the hijack, Shannon Shorr called from the cutoff, and Michael Brinkenhoff called from the big blind.

The flop came 457. Brinkenhoff checked, Zobian bet 8,500, Shorr called, and Brinkenhoff folded.

Both players checked the 9 turn, leading to the 5 river. Zobian fired a 70,000 overbet, and Shorr moved all-in for around 210,000. Zobian called, barely covering Shorr.

Shorr turned over trips with A5. Zobian showed a straight with 86 to win the hand, while Shorr quickly reentered.
