Michael Shi raised the button to 7,000, and Darren Elias called from the big blind.
On a 4♦3♠8♣ flop, Elias check-raised Shi's bet of 5,000 to 15,000, which Shi called.
Elias continued for 30,000 on the 10♣ turn, again Shi called.
The Q♣ river saw sparks fly. Elias once again opted to bet, this time for 75,000. Shi, covering Elias, moved all-in.
Elias took some time considering his options before flicking in a chip to signify a call.
Michael Shi: K♣5♣
Darren Elias: Q♠8♥
An unfortunate river for Elias, improving him to two-pair but also giving his opponent a flush.
The duo exchanged a handshake and went their separate ways.

Richard Green raised it up on the button and Kristen Foxen called from the big blind. The flop came 7♦3♦2♦ and Foxen check-called a bet of 8,000 from Green.
The turn was the A♣ and Foxen checked again. Green made a bet of 19,500 and Foxen still called. The 4♥ completed the board and Foxen checked once more. Green threw in a stack of T25,000 chips and Foxen had a decision for her final 92,000 chips.
After using her last two time banks, Foxen shrugged as she made the call. Green flipped over 7♥7♣ for a set of sevens while Foxen held A♦4♣ for just two pair.
