James Sloat was down to only 55,000 when he got it all in on a flop of 6♠A♥7♣. James St. Hilaire made the call but then Jay Jin raised it up to 75,000 to successfully isolate.
James Sloat: 6♥7♥
Jay Jin: A♦J♥
Jin had top pair but it was no good against the bottom two-pair of Sloat. and the turn 5♥ further improved him to a flush draw. The river came the brick 10♦ to secure Sloat's victory and he was awarded the pot for a full triple-up.
The very next hand, Sloat picked up pocket aces and managed to get a lot of value on the river of a 2♠9♠7♦3♣9♣ board against Roy Kim to further increase his stack to 360,000.
