Action was joined on fourth street, with Gamble and Ichinose calling a bet from Chung. Fifth street saw the same series of events, with Chung receiving two calls.

Sixth street saw another bet from Chung. Ichinose called before Gamble raised. Chung made the call, but Ichinose decided to reraise all in. Both of his opponents called, and action continued with Ichinose all in.

Seventh street saw one final bet from Gamble, which was called by Chung. Gamble showed Q♦8♣6♠ for a ten-high straight, while Chung turned over A♠8♦4♠ for an eight-seven low. They chopped the side pot. Ichinose needed to beat one side to remain in - which he did, turning over J♠6♣4♦ for a seven-six to take the low half of the main pot; the high half went to Gamble.
