Manish Madan raised from the cutoff to 30,000, Jeffrey Copeland called from the button, and Gary Benson called from the small blind. The flop came out with 6♠8♦3♦, and Benson checked, Madan bet 45,000, and Copeland folded. Benson moved all in for 127,000.

Madan stated, "Now I have to call because PokerNews is here."

Gary Benson: 9♥8♥ All in
Manish Madan: 10♦2♦

Madan was on a flush draw, and Benson held top pair. The turn A♣ did not change the result, but the 5♦ river gave Madan his flush for the win.

Madan was receiving a massage and stated, "Ever since I started getting this massage, I have been non-stop winning."
