Masafumi Iijima opened to 16,000 under the gun. Lawrence Brandt made it 56,000 in the small blind, which Ilijima eventually called.
Brandt then pushed all in on the J♣4♣5♥ flop, and Ilijima quickly called off his remaining 60,000 or so.
Masafumi Iijima: A♦K♠9♠2♦
Lawrence Brandt: A♣J♠9♥2♣
Both players made the wheel on the 3♣ turn, but only Brandt made a flush. He received three-quarters of the pot when the 7♠ river completed the board, leaving Iijima with two big bets in his stack.
