Towards the end of 2,000/4,000/4,000, Michael Ballas opened to 10,000 from the hijack. Vlad Shovkovyi and Kevin Pham defended in the small blind and big blind respectively.
Action checked through on the paired flop of Q♥Q♠3♠.
Shovkovyi led for 25,000 on the 4♥ turn. Pham jammed for 78,000. Ballas quickly folded out but Shovkovyi eventually called after some time.
Both players tabled flush draws with Pham's ace-high flush draw out in front. Shovkovyi needed to find an offsuit eight or five.
Pham: A♥2♥ (all-in)
Shovkovyi: 8♥5♥
Board: Q♥Q♠3♠4♥
The A♦ completed the board. Pham didn't need the pair but secured the pot with it.
48 players remain. Blinds are going up to 2,500/5,000/5,000 and players will be sent on a 10-minute break in approximately 40 minutes.
