A raise and a call set the stage for the flop of 4♥2♦5♠. Michael Hamblin checked his option from early position before Claude McDowell fired 6,000 on the flop. Hamblin countered with a check-raise all-in. McDowell called and put himself at risk for approximately 27,000.
Claude McDowell: J♥J♦
Michael Hamblin: A♥3♥
Hamblin showed that he flopped the wheel as McDowell turned over his overpair in disappointment.
McDowell's slim chances of a comeback were extinguished on the 8♣ turn. The K♣ river completed the board as Hamblin scored the elimination.
