Roland Israelashvili: {x-}{x-}/{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}/{x-}
Dan Matsuzuki: {x-}{x-}/{Q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}/{x-}

Roland Israelashvili was the bring in and he called a completion from Dan Matsuzuki.

On fourth, Israelashvili led out with a bet and Matsuzuki called. On fifth street, both players checked. They checked again on sixth street.

On seventh, Israelashvili bet again, commiting most of his stack, leaving just about 15,000 behind. Matsuzuki called but was dismayed to see Israelahvili's {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a seventh street flush. Israelashvili would scoop the pot and nearly double up.
