Griffin Benger raised it up under the gun, and it folded around to John Alexander in the small blind. He moved all in for his last 230,000, and when it got to Benger, he made the call.

Benger: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Alexander: {4-}{4-}

The {4-Hearts} was in the window, but it would prove to be part of an action flop of {9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Benger had picked up the nut flush draw, and the {3-Hearts} on the turn gave him that flush. Alexander could still win if the board paired, but it didn't, as the {8-Hearts} hit the river.

After collecting that pot, Berger is now up to 820,000.
