Jimmy Tran limped under the gun, the small blind limped, and Phil Gordon checked his option in the big blind. The flop came {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{5-Clubs}

. The small blind checked, Gordon bet 2,000, Tran raised to 4,000, the small blind folded, Gordon reraised to 8,000, and Tran called. The turn card was the {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

. Gordon bet 8,000, Tran moved all in, and Gordon called with {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

-- trip fives. But Tran showed {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{8-Spades}

, giving him the lead with a spade flush.

Gordon would need to spike a full house to stay alive, but the river card was the {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

, and Phil Gordon was eliminated.
