Priyank Shah opened to 8,000 and was called by Nicholas Iriarte on the button and Omari Mims-Mitchell from the big blind.

The J610 flop was checked by all three players to bring the 3 turn. Mims-Mitchell checked again, but this time Shah fired 10,000. Iriarte called, but Mims-Mitchell folded.

Both remaining players checked the 6 river to go to a showdown.
