Vahe Martirosyan opened to 3,500 in the cutoff. Emilien Pitavy flat-called on the button, and Timothy Smith defended his big blind.
The K♦10♦6♣ flop checked to Pitavy, who continued for 4,000. Smith raised to 15,000, Martiroyan folded, and Pitavy called.
Smith reverted to a check on the 7♦ turn. Pitavy took a stab at the pot for 11,000, but Smith raised his opponent again. The amount was 26,000, and Pitavy tossed in another call.
Smith checked for a third time on the 5♦ river. Pitavy did not relent, betting 42,000. Smith only called this time, revealing K♥Q♠ for top pair.
Smith tabled K♣Q♦ for the same hand, but his diamond had made him a flush on the river to rake in the pot.
