Ben Lamb raised to 140,000 on the button and was called by Michael Zulker in the small blind and Stefan Lehner in the big blind for a three-way pot.
It was checked to Lamb, who continued for a bet of 140,000 on the 3♦3♣7♦ flop. Zulker responded with a check-raise to 880,000, which got a quick fold from Lehner, but a tank from Lamb.
"You've got a flush draw, huh?" Lamb said as he poured himself a drink.
Eventually, Lamb let his hand go and Zulker collected the pot without showing.
