Christopher Frank raised it up to 1,100 from under the gun and picked up four callers along the way including Viktor Blom seated across from him. The flop fell K♠6♣5♠ and the action checked to Amin Hudda on the button who bet 6,000. Kenneth Cater was the only player to call from early position and they went heads-up to the 6♦ on the turn.
Both players checked and the 10♣ completed the board. Cater led out with a pot-sized bet of 18,000 and Hudda sent his cards into the muck. Cater showed the 6♠ as he raked in the pot and the rest of his hand went face down into the muck.

Schwartz's 9♦9♠5♥5♣ were up against K♣K♦8♦5♠ and the K♠9♣7♣3♥5♦ runout kept top set in the lead all the way.
