Chris Lindner opened to 125,000 with {10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} on the button. Alex Conatser called with {8-Spades}{6-Spades} on the small blind, and John Gribben also called with an unknown hand on the big blind.

All three players checked the {3-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} flop.

Conatser checked the {2-Diamonds} turn, Gribben bet 250,000, Lindner raised to 650,000 with a made flush, Conatser folded, and Gribben called.

Gribben led out on the {5-Diamonds} river, going all in with his last 1,500,000. With four diamonds on the board, Conatser tanked for awhile, eventually deciding on folding his ten-kicker flush.

Both players checked the {j-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop, and Gribben bet 125,000 on the {3-Clubs} turn with his top pair. Lindner called with an over and a gutshot.

John Gribben: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
