Action was picked up on the flop with 45,000 in the pot, and the board showing 5♥3♦4♦.
Yaser Al-Keliddar checked from the big blind, as did Aaron Pinson in the hijack. Then Thomas Karle bet all in for 44,000. Al-Keliddar made the call, and Pinson quickly folded.
Thomas Karle: Q♦9♦ 
Yaser Al-Keliddar: A♣2♣
Al-Keliddar flopped a wheel, but Karle had outs with his flush draw. Karle didn't have to wait long for his flush draw to come in as the 7♦ hit the turn, leaving Al-Keliddar drawing dead. The 5♣ of officially gave Karle the double up with his queen high flush.
