With the board showing {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} on the turn, Shamseddin checked, Banks bet 40,000, and Shamseddin called. The river card was the {3-Spades}, and both players checked. Shamseddin showed A-9 for two pair, but Banks showed {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} to win the pot with a club flush.

Michael Banks has the button in seat 1, and four players limp to see the flop of {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. With some betting, Shamseddin is all in with A-J (trip aces) against Gorham's 9-9 (two pair). Gorham needs to catch a nine to eliminate Shamseddin here.

The last two cards are {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, and Soheil Shamseddin doubles up in chips.

The next player eliminated will receive $40,991 in sixth place.
