[user37786]

Frank Vukasin raised to 30,000 under the gun and Brian Wildman reraised all in for 135,000. Adam Katz then moved all in himself for 200,000 and Vukasin got out of the way.

Katz held {A-Clubs}

to Wildman's {Q-Spades}

, and when the flop came {Q-Clubs}

Wildman looked poised to more than double up. But the {4-Clubs}

on the turn gave Katz a flush draw and he hit the {6-Clubs}

on the river to seize the pot and end Wildman's day. Katz now sits with 380,000.
