Donald Dombach on the button faced a raise to 1,800 from Jaegeol Cho in the small blind, which he flat called.
The flop came A♦4♥6♦ and Cho bet out for 1,500. Dombach called, and the dealer peeled off the 6♥ on the turn. Cho continued his aggression and bet out for 5,000 now. Dombach tanked for a short while and then bumped it up to 11,000. Cho called.
The river brought the 8♥, and Cho didn't slow down and moved all in for 15,200 effective, which sent Dombach deep into the tank for his tournament life. He eventually released his hand and Cho was pushed the pot with no showdown.
