The flop read 6♦8♦5♣. Gabriel Croteau called the all in from his opponent.
At risk player: A♦4♦
Gabriel Croteau: Q♦8♣
Croteau was ahead but would need to fade the diamonds. The turn was the 2♣ and the river the Q♥ to confirm the pot for Croteau and bust his opponent.
The board read 4♣K♣7♣9♣. Phong Lu quickly called the all in from his opponent and it was quickly apparent why as he tabled the A♣Q♠ for the nut flush.
The river came the 6♣ as his opponents hand was swept away quickly as the loser and Lu gathered in a nice pot.
