The flop came J♦7♣5♦ and it checked over to Payton who bet 8,000. Poggi called and the hijack folded.
The Q♥ turn went check-check, bringing the 6♦ river. Poggi bet 15,000 and Payton quickly moved all in for 30,000 total. Poggi made the call.
Payton tabled A♦3♦ for the nut flush, besting the A♠Q♣ of Poggi.
