We caught up to Andrey Zaichenko and Brian Hacker involved in an already big pot on a flop of 
.
Hacker had announced a pot, which at the time was 81,000 chips. Zaichenko thought about it for a bit, but eventually called.
The turn was the 
and Hacker announced all in, which Zaichenko called quickly, but not happily, and the two men turned up their hands.
Zaichenko: 
Hacker: 
Hacker had flopped the nut low, with a draw to the nut flush. He then turned a set of kings and had Zaichenko in a lot of trouble with just a low draw and no way to win the high except a six for the straight.
The river was the 
though and that wasn't enough for Zaichenko to catch up. He was forced to ship over the chips to Hacker who has picked up close to 300,000 here towards the end of the night.

The river card was the and Hacker announced "pot." Instantly Filippi called and the two tabled their hands.

flop spread by the dealer.
