Dara Taherpour opened from early position and picked up two callers, including Dennis Maschke in the cutoff and Joshua Mitchell on the button.
Taherpour continued on the 5♠9♠7♦ flop, but the action quickly escalated when Maschke raised and Mitchell fired in a three-bet. Back on Taherpour, he took one last look at his cards before deciding to fold. Maschke called, and the two players headed to the turn.
The 2♥ turn checked through, bringing the 6♣ river. Maschke checked once more and called a bet from Mitchell.
Mitchell tabled 7♠6♠ for two pair, sevens and sixes, and that proved enough to take down the pot as Maschke sent his cards into the muck.
