Noah Bronstein was all in with his very short stack on third street. Eric Kurtzman had the lead and three spades for a good start. Bronstein took the lead on fourth street when his deuce paired and Kurtzman regained that lead when he hit a king on sixth street.

Yehuda Buchalter:

Action was picked up on sixth street where Yehuda Buchalter bet, Brian Lieberman called with four to a straight flush showing and Yueqi Zhu came along also.
Zhu checked seventh street, Buchalter bet 12,000. Lieberman raised to 24,000 which got Zhu to stand up and go into the tank. He thought it out for quite some time while standing before sitting and throwing in the chips in a manner that looked like a painful and reluctant call. Buchalter got out of the way.
"Got the straight flush?" asked Zhu.
"Yep," said Lieberman and tabled the for the straight flush.
Zhu tossed over his own ace-high flush and voiced his frustration. "I can never get a break!" he said as he shook his head and explained his reasoning for calling.
Buchalter claimed that he had folded a king-high flush to put the cherry on top of the crazy hand, where all three players had flushes by fifth street.
