Four-Way Flop Cripples Zand

Dave Zand is on life support. After Nathan Templeton raised to 28,000 from the cutoff, Zand (on the button), Devin Porter, and John Conkright all made the call. A highly coordinated flop of {10-Spades} {10-Hearts} {J-Spades} came down, and the table tensed for fireworks.

Porter checked to Conkright, who bet 100,000. Templeton folded over to Zand, who raised to 325,000. Porter, who later said he folded A-J, agonized for about 20 seconds before folding. Conkright quickly jammed the rest of his stack in the middle and Zand, with about 200,000 behind, made the call.

Conkright: {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}
Zand: {8-Spades} {9-Spades}

Trips for Conkright against Zand's open-ended straight flush draw. The turn {J-Diamonds} made a full house for Conkright, but Zand was still drawing live to a straight flush. The river {7-Diamonds} made him a straight, but it wasn't enough.

After counting down Conkright's stack and paying him off, Zand is left with only 30,000 in chips.
