The hand was picked up with Hiroyuki Noda betting 17,000 from the hijack on a flop of 2♦9♠A♣. Joey Couden, who had the button, called.
On the 5♥ turn, Noda fired again, this time a pot-raise for 75,000.
The 6♦ on the river didn't discourage Noda any, as he tried to go all in for 255,000, but there was only 225,000 in the pot.
Couden pondered a call for a minute, and eventually moved a couple of stacks forward to look at Noda's hand. He didn't like what he saw.
Noda tabled 8♠7♦6♠4♦. He had turned a host of straight draws and the nine-high nuts came home via the river.
