Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Michael Christ raised in the cutoff to 250,000, who was called by Dylan Lindsey on the button, Tomoki Matsuda in the small blind, Brandon Will in the big blind.

The flop came 3♠5♠9♠ and the action checked around to the turn.

The turn was the 4♥ and it checked to Dylan Lindsey on the button, who bet out 400,000 and every player made the call to see a river.

The river was the Q♥ and when it was checked to Lindsey, he went all in for 2,100,000. Matsuda folded, however Will also went all in for 1,900,000, and Christ who had both players covered made the call as well.

Brandon Will showed down J♠10♠9♥8♣7♠ for a jack-high flush with no low, Christ tabled A♦Q♠10♣6♠3♦ for a queen-high flush and ace-six for the low, but it was Dylan Lindsey who would scoop the pot with A♠9♣8♦4♠2♠ for the ace high flush and the wheel for the low.
