There was a preflop raising war, as Donovan Bates brought in and Soshi Yasoshima completed, only for Jonathan Nebbout to make it two bets to go. Bates raised again, Yasoshima called, and Nebbout moved all in. Bates capped it at five bets, and Yasoshima called again.
On fourth and fifth street, Bates bet out and was called by Yasoshima. Action then checked through on sixth and seventh.
Nebbout showed that he had aces on third, and by sixth he had two pair with both a flush and a low draw. He peeled his final card for aces up with a low. Yasoshima had a better two pair, with aces and kings, but still lost out on the high portion of the pot as Bates tabled trips. He told the table that he had been rolled up, and he chopped the main with Nebbout, scooping the side.
