Three players saw the 8♥6♠4♠ flop and Joao Vieira checked to Farid Jattin, who bet 160,000. Bryce Yockey folded his hand, but Vieira made the call.

The J♥ hit the turn and Vieira check-called another bet, this time for 640,000.

When the A♥ hit the river, both players tapped the table.

Vieira tabled 10♥9♥5♦4♣, backing into a ten-high flush, and Jattin flashed the 7♥5♥, showing a flopped straight that made a smaller flush.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

In a preflop confrontation Jason Berilgen was all in from the button for 1,775,000 and up against Farid Jattin who had him covered.

Jason Berilgen: K♦K♥Q♥3♣ All in
Farid Jattin: A♠A♥Q♣J♥

Berilgen was in rough shape against Jattin's aces and found no help on the 2♠8♠8♥ flop. The J♠ turn changed nothing but the K♠ river gave Berilgen a full house.

"Oh my god. I'm never this lucky" Berilgen commented as he dragged in a full double up.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Farid Jattin limped the hijack, followed by Aditya Sadhu in the small blind and Bryce Yockey checked his option in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 9♦4♥3♥, and once Sadhu checked, Yockey tossed 150,000 into the middle, and Jattin put in a raise to 505,000. Sadhu got out of the way, but Yockey stuck around with a call.

The 6♣ fell on the turn and Yockey took the lead, cutting out a bet of 1,000,000. Jattin jammed for 3,110,000, putting Yockey in the tank. After several minutes, he made the call.

Farid Jattin: 10♠9♠7♦6♦ All in
Bryce Yockey: A♦Q♣5♥2♠

Yockey was ahead with the turned straight, but the 8♥ river improved Jattin to a higher straight as Yockey jumped out of his chair in disappointment.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Joao Vieira opened to 420,000 from the hijack and Farid Jattin three-bet to 1,440,000 from the cutoff. Vieira made the call.

The flop came A♥K♠J♦. Vieira checked, Jattin made a pot-sized bet of 3,100,000 and Vieira, who had 2,100,000 behind, made the call to put himself at risk.

Joao Vieira: A♠K♦10♦9♠ All in
Farid Jattin: A♦A♣10♠6♣

Vieira had flopped top two pair but was drawing very thin against Jattin's top set. He found no help on the Q♥ turn or K♥ river and was sent to the rail in sixth place while Jattin collected another colossal pot.

When the Q♠ paired the board on the river, Yockey slowed down with a check. Jattin checked back, and Yockey rolled over 10♠9♠9♦7♣ before Jattin took down the pot with a flopped straight as he showed 10♦4♥3♦2♥.
