The flop showed {5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and there were roughly 23,000 chips in the pot. Brian Ellison bet 12,000 and Rafael Sa'adah called.

Seth Simmons pushed his stack into the middle, totaling 62,100 and Ellison quickly folded. Sa'adah called the shove and they turned over their cards.

Seth Simmons: {5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Rafael Sa'adah: {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

The top two were leading the way but Sa'adah had outs to hit. An {a-Spades} rolled out on the turn, leaving Simmons in front and he held on when the {8-Diamonds} completed the board.

Simmons pulled in the pot, catapulting him near the top of the field, while Sa'adah was left short in the process.
