Chance Kornuth opened with a raise to 25,000 from under the gun. Cary Katz called on the button and Stephen Chidwick defended from the big blind with a call.

The flop was {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Kornuth put out a bet of 60,000 when checked too. Katz dropped into the tank and after a few moments he announced a pot, making it 270,000. Chidwick folded and Kornuth moved all in. Katz called quickly for the remainder of his stack which was 336,000.

Chance Kornuth: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Cary Katz: {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}

Both players had a flushdraw, but Kornuth was also holding a massive wrap as well. The turn was the {5-Spades} and the {7-Spades} was the river and with that, Katz held on with a pair of threes to take down the massive pot, doubling to over 700,000.
