On the button on the following hand, Askey put his remaining chips into the pot on the button. Dalibor Dula and Cole Ferraro called in the blinds, and both players checked through on the {8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Spades}{a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} runout.

Cole Ferraro raised to 500,000 chips from the hijack and Max Coleman three-bet to 1,300,000 in the cutoff. Ferraro called and they saw the flop.

The action checked to the river on a board reading {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{j-Spades}{4-Clubs} where Coleman bet 1,100,000 on the river. Ferraro went into the tank for about 30-seconds before making the call. Coleman turned over {10-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} for a missed straight draw and Ferraro showed {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a pair of nines.

Coleman and Ferraro See a Flop

Level 32 : 120,000/240,000, 240,000 ante

Ferraro raised to 750,000 from the small blind into Maxx Coleman's big blind. Coleman defended, and they saw a flop of {k-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. Ferraro continued for another 550,000 and Coleman folded.
