With on the flop, Saad Ghanem check-raised to 45,000 from the small blind. Action folded around to Kent Buckingham for the three-bet shove to 190,000. Ghanem went deep into the tank for a few minutes, lamenting how "sexy" his hand was before finally making the call.
Buckingham turned over for a flopped set of eights. Ghanem showed
for a flush draw and the chance at a straight.
The turn was and the river fell
to give Ghanem the flush in a celebration that included chicken noises.
The bubble is now burst and 72 players are guaranteed a min-cash of $2,137.
