Orpen Kisacikoglu, who came into the day having bagged one single 5,000 chip, called off for his tournament life from the cutoff. Koon isolated with a raise to 100,000 from the small blind and the hand went to a showdown.
Orpen Kisacikoglu: K♦J♥ 
Jason Koon: A♠3♠
Kisacikoglu was behind but the J♣10♦4♦ flop reversed their fates. The Q♦ turn and 3♦ river improved Kisacikoglu to a flush, increasing his stack by 800%. Kisacikoglu still remained short, but for now, the dream is still alive.
