Eddie Blumenthal raised from the hijack and Donovan Bates called on his left. In the big blind, Mark Vathanasin blind put in his 245,000 stack, as Blumenthal and Bates tossed in the additional 5,000 to call.
On the 5♥4♣2♥ flop, Blumenthal led and Bates called.
Blumenthal the check-folded on the 4♥ turn as Vathanasin slowly turned his cards over one by one.
Mark Vathanasin: A♠5♦5♣2♣
Donovan Bates: A♥A♦7♥6♣
Vathanasin picked up a premium blind, and his full house beat out the nut flush of Bates, who did secure the low on the 9♥ river as the pot was chopped, and Vathanasin survived.
