Salvatore Donato raised from early position and was called by Ercan Atmaca and the player in the big blind.
The flop came 7♠3♠6♥. The big blind checked and Donato made a continuation bet of 8,000. Atmaca called and the big blind folded.
The turn was the 8♣. Donato checked and Atmaca bet out 12,000. Donato quickly made the call. The river was the 9♥ and Donato checked again. Atmaca pushed in a pile of blues worth 30,000 chips and Donato called.
Atmaca flipped over A♦Q♠ for ace high and was running a bluff. Donato showed 5♥5♠ for a turned straight and scooped the pot.
