Dustin Nelson was in the small blind and got his last 23,000 chips in before the flop against Alberto Fonseca, who was in the hijack, and Rudolphk Sawa on the button.
The flop came 
and Fonseca checked. Sawa checked behind.
The turn brought the 
and Fonseca bet 25,000. Sawa raised, Fonseca got the remainder of his stack in the middle, and all three players tabled their hands.
Nelson: 
Fonseca: 
Sawa: 
Fonseca had the lead with his king-high straight but needed to fade the board paring on the river against Sawa's top set in order to double up. The 
changed nothing and Fonseca took the pot to double through Sawa and send Nelson to the cage.
