Dennis Maschke opened from the middle position and picked up two callers in Somasekhar Sanampuri on the button and Dara Taherpour in the small blind.
The flop came 9♦10♠2♥, and after Taherpour checked, Maschke continued with a bet. Sanampuri called before Taherpour put in a raise. The raise committed Maschke's remaining chips, and he was all in for 12,000. Sanampuri called as well, creating a side pot heading to the 8♠ turn.
Taherpour continued betting on both the turn and the 3♠ river, and Sanampuri called each time.
At showdown, Maschke tabled K♠6♠ for a rivered flush to secure the main pot. Taherpour revealed Q♦10♦ for top pair, which was enough to win the side pot after Sanampuri's hand was quickly sent into the muck from the dealer.
