Matthew Alexander bet from early position on a flop of 6♥3♠2♥ and Clyde Gaskins called in middle position, as did Todd Hatch in the cutoff.
Alexander bet again on the 5♥ turn and both opponents called. The river was the J♠ and Alexander bet once more. Gaskins and Hatch again called.
Alexander showed A♣9♠4♥3♥ for a straight flush and a low to a round of "oohs" from the table. Hatch turned over A♦K♦Q♠4♠ to chop the low.
