Leonard Talerico limped the button, Joe Ford came along in the small blind, and Khamar Xaythavone checked his option.

The dealer spread the A♠9♣8♥ flop and the blinds checked to Talerico who bet 300,000. Both opponents called.

The 5♥ landed on the turn and action checked to Talerico who potted. Ford called all in for about 715,000 and Xaythavone folded.

Ford: A♥Q♠J♦10♦6♥
Talerico: 7♥6♠5♠4♣2♠

Ford was in rough shape, but a heart spiked the river to give him the nut flush for the high to survive, while Talerico took the low.

Leonard Talerico – 3,275,000
Khamar Xaythavone – 1,725,000
Joe Ford – 1,325,000
