We caught up with the action at the tail end of fourth street to see John Juanda fire out a bet that both Justin Smith and Abe Mosseri called. Smith took the initiative with a bet on fifth and Mosseri called. Juanda cut out a raise and Smith made it three bets right back over the top. Mosseri flatted once again and Juanda followed suit.

Smith led out again on sixth street but this time it was Mosseri who moved out a raise. Juanda cut out a three-bet and Smith went into the tank. A moment passed before he finally decided to muck his cards which allowed Mosseri to flat call.

Juanda fired out one more bet on seventh and Mosseri shook his head as he called. Juanda rolled over {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{4-Clubs} for a heart-flush and Mosseri mucked his hand.

"I had a double gutter and four clubs [on sixth]," remarked a stunned Mosseri. "You pick up the four of clubs at the end?" he asked to Juanda.

"Obviously," replied the five-time bracelet winner.

Mosseri then went on to lament how if Smith had called to see the final street, Mosseri would have made a straight flush by picking up the four of clubs. Instead, he watched as Juanda stacked his chips to bring his stack up to around 180,000.
