Josh Schlein opens the pot for a 95,000 raise from the cut off and Jon Mazursky moves all in for 187,000 more from the button. The blinds fold, and after weighing his options, Schlein decides to make the call.

Schlein: {5-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}
Mazursky: {A-Spades} {k-Clubs}

The flop comes {7-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} giving Schlein the best hand with a pair of fives and a diamond flush draw. Mazursky was left with just four clean outs, or the slim possiblity of runner-runner straight cards.

The turn was a blank in the {Q-Clubs} , however, a river {K-Hearts} saved Mazursky from elimination.

Mazursky doubles up and is now at 620,000.
