On a three-way turn of 6♣K♥8♥7♠, there is around 60,000 in the pot when Bao 'Tic-Tac' Vinh moved all in for roughly 70,000.
Tony Nguyen was next to act and he thought about it for a long while before he slid his cards into the middle and the action was then on Rory Bome who quickly tossed out a chip to call.
Bao Vinh: J♥7♥
Rory Bome: A♣A♥
Bome was ahead with his pocket pair of aces, but any jack, seven, or heart would give the pot to Kanazawa.
Unfortunately for Vinh, the river was the brick 9♣ and Bome was pushed the pot while Vinh was sent to the rail. Meanwhile, Nguyen was kicking himself for folding king-ten as he would have made a straight on the river.
