Brian Ray got his last 640,000 or so into the middle from the cutoff, after a previous raise by another player was called by Athanasios Polychronopoulos. With the action back on Polychronopoulos, he thought things through for a moment before electing to call with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}. Ray revealed the {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and the two were off to the races.

Flop: {7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

The flop brought a little something for both players, as Ray's eights had held through three board cards, but Polychronopoulos found the nut flush draw.

Turn: {A-Spades}

The turn was moved Polychronopoulos into the lead, and Ray was left looking for a six to complete a gutshot straight, or an eight to make a winning set.

River: {3-Spades}

The blank of the river knocked Ray to the rail, and Polychronopoulos has once again moved his stack to the upper reaches of our leaderboard.
