After a betting frenzy on a three-way flop of K♥9♥7♦, all of the chips between Damien Franco, Hongying Shen, and Jeff Nowling got into the middle, with Nowling covering.
Shen: A♥5♥
Franco: K♣Q♥
Nowling: K♠6♠
Franco was in the lead with his pair of kings, queen-kicker, but he still had a lot of cards to dodge to keep it that way.
The turn Q♦ improved him to two-pair, which left Nowling drawing dead, and the river was the brick 5♦ to award him the entire pot while Shen was eliminated.
Franco - 168,000
Nowling - 35,000
Shen - 0
