The last two cards are {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, and Soheil Shamseddin doubles up in chips.

With the board showing {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} on the turn, Shamseddin checked, Banks bet 40,000, and Shamseddin called. The river card was the {3-Spades}, and both players checked. Shamseddin showed A-9 for two pair, but Banks showed {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} to win the pot with a club flush.
