BJ McBrayer:

Five players invested 800 before the flop to see a 
flop hit the felt, and Kris Bradshaw bet 2,000 in middle position. Mark Fink raised to 6,000, and Michael Esquivel three-bet shoved for 13,200 from the hijack. Kevin Davis then four-bet jammed for 39,000 on the button, and after the big blind folded, Bradshaw called off his last 25,000 total. Fink tanked for a minute, then folded.
Michael Esquivel:
Kris Bradshaw: 
Kevin Davis: 
Davis held the nut straight, but Esquivel was still live with a set. The changed nothing, and while the 
river confirmed Esquivel's elimination, it also meant that Bradshaw's lower straight on the flop had caught up to Davis, allowing Bradshaw to chop the pot with Davis.
