Three players saw the flop of K♥3♦2♠. Doyle Elliott in the small blind checked, as did Manelic Minaya in the big blind. Philippe Rup bet 31,000 from the cutoff and both players in the blinds called.
The turn was the 7♠. Blinds checked again and Rup bet 52,000. Again, both players quickly called.
The river came the K♠. Elliott checked. Minaya decided to go all in for 175,000. Rup folded and Elliott quickly called.
Minaya turned over 4♠5♠ for the flopped open-ender and turned flush draw, which made a flush on the river. Elliott showed K♣Jx for rivered trip kings.
