John Armbrust opened 25,000 under the gun and Lester Edoc defended the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of A♣6♦4♦, and Edoc check-called a bet of 30,000.

When the 3♠ hit the turn, Edoc checked and Armbrust continued his aggression as he tossed 65,000 across the line and that was good enough to drag the pot.
