Hoang called and the turn card was the {q-Diamonds} upon which he moved all in for 490,000. Gross eventually called and turned over {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Hoang had the {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and called for a black card. He got it - the {9-Spades} - for a chopped pot.

Hand #89: Andrew Egan raised to 100,000 and claimed the blinds and antes.

Hand #90: Steve Gross moved all in and Mike Kachan called all in for less. All other players folded and they turned over their cards:

Gross: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Kachan: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}

The {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} flop was no sweat yet, but the {8-Diamonds} turn now gave Gross an open-ended straight draw. It wasn't meant to be as the {10-Hearts} river gave Kachan a double up for 690,000 and Gross is now really short.
