With about 20,000 in the pot, on a board reading {j-Clubs}{9-Spades}{2-Spades}, Juan Parra checked from the small blind. Leo Fernandez was in the big blind and bet 13,000. Parra thought for a bout a minute and called.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and Parra check-called a bet of 30,500 from Fernandez. The river was the {j-Hearts} and Parra checked again. Fernandez went into the tank and then slid forward a bet worth 20,000. Parra kept thinking, and eventually Fernandez asked, "Nueve?", meaning nine is Spanish. After asking this, Parra quickly called.

Fernandez tabled {q-Spades}{6-Spades} for a busted flush draw, and Parra stood up and proudly tabled {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}.

Gomez made kings full of threes, and Ruiz thew his hands up on his head in shock. Gomez clapped his hands and yelled, "Vamooo!" and scooped the pot, sending Ruiz to the rail.
