We were three handed on a flop of {3-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {7-Clubs}, and Chris Ferguson checked from the small blind. James Van Alstyne did the same from the big, and Chino Rheem fired a bet. Ferguson ducked out, but Van Alstyne put in the call.

The turn was the {4-Hearts}. Van Alstyne took the lead now with a bet, and Rheem made the call. The river was the {8-Clubs} and the action was the same with Rheem calling one more bet. Van Alstyne tabled {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}, making the ace-high flush on the top end. As Rheem mucked, it was clear Van Alstyne's seventy-five low was good for the bottom half too, and he scoops up the pot.

Van Alstyne - 64,000
Rheem - 27,000
