First in from the hijack seat, Daniel Drescher raised it up to 30,000, the remainder of his stack. John Kabbaj called from the cutoff, and chip leader Bryn Kenney came along as well.

With two live players trying for the knockout, the flop rolled out {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

. Kenney led out with a bet of 40,000, and Kabbaj made the call. The turn came the {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

and both players checked. The river brought the {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

. Kenney put in another bet -- 66,000 this time -- and Kabbaj again called.

Kenney showed {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{8-Diamonds}

for triple eights, but it was no good. Kabbaj tabled the winning {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

, having chased down his flush on the river. Drescher couldn't show anything better, and he slipped his cards into the muck, wished his table luck, and walked to the payout desk.

Kenney - 845,000
Kabbaj - 615,000
