The player under the gun rasied to 600. Rania Nasreddine called from the cutoff, as did the button and the small blind. Harrison Gimbel, in the big blind squeezed to 5,800. The original raiser folded and Nasreddine called.
The button thought before putting in a four-bet to 17,000. Gimbel five-bet jammed for 51,400, Nasreddine made a frustrated fold and the button made the call.
Harrison Gimbel: A♦K♦
Button: A♣K♠
Gimbel was at risk but the hand was likely to be a chop, until the 10♥9♦4♦ flop gave him a flush draw. The 9♠ turn and 3♦ river saw him complete his flush to scoop this massive pot.

Life Outside Poker is a new podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.
In the 11th episode, Connor speaks with Dan "Jungleman" Cates about accountability in poker, his notorious heads-up challenge with Tom Dwan, Game of Gold, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, mindfulness in poker and his new podcast Winning the Game of Life.
Cates also talked about his iconic Poker Players Championship outfits and a six-figure downswing he experienced at Bellagio during the summer.
This interview was filmed at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) inside Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
