Bankus picked up a flush draw on the turn, but was unable to connect on the river falling in 16th place.
One hand later, Mark Brodsky opened to 27,000 from under the gun and Anthony Potis called on the button. Both players checked the 6♦5♣7♦ flop.
Brodsky checked again on the 10♣ turn, making the call after Potis fired 25,000. Another check from Brodsky followed the 4♣ river, and Potis tossed out 41,000. Brodsky made one final call.
