Maxim Panyak raised from early position, and was called by Norman Chad from the cutoff, and Gina Hecht in the big blind.

The flop came 3♦3♥4♠ and Hecht checked to Panyak who bet. Chad called, as did Hecht.

After the 5♥ on the turn, Hecht led out for a bet, which got Panyak to fold, but Chad called to see a river.

The river was the 6♥ and Hecht bet again, and Chad quickly made the call.

Chad tabled A♠Q♦9♦2♣ for a wheel, but Hecht had A♥4♥2♠2♦ for an ace high flush and a wheel as well, leaving Chad quartered.

The very next hand at the same table, Allen Kessler was all in for his last 4,500. He was not able to win the pot and was eliminated from the tournament.
