Anson Tsang

Ghattas Kortas raised to 3,000 and Armando Gentile called on the button. Anson Tsang shoved for his last 10,800 chips from the big blind and both Kortas and Gentile called.

The flop brought {q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{k-Spades} and Kortas checked to Gentile who shoved for 19,600. Kortas ended up calling and the three players flipped over their cards:

Anson Tsang: {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Armando Gentile: {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Ghattas Kortas: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Kortas had hit two pair while Gentile was hoping for a straight. The turn didn'tchange anything with the {j-Hearts} but a {a-Clubs}, giving Gentile what he needed to take down the pot while Tsang made his way to the exit.
