The action checked around to May on the 5♣8♣2♣ flop, and he bet 40,000. Haag then moved all in for 65,000 and Rion and Simon folded, while May called.
Dan Haag: A♣J♦
Jasper May: Q♥7♥
May was able to show only queen-high, while Haag was ahead with ace-high and a flush draw. The board ran out 2♥3♠, and Haag doubled up.
