Brandon Meyers raised to 355,000 from early position, Christian Pham called in middle position, as did Jonathan Dwek on the button and Zu Zhou in the big blind.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, and all three players checked to the {2-Hearts} on the turn. Zhou and Meyers both checked, and Pham reached into his stack to cut out some chips. First he cut out 500,000, then 600,000, and finally decided on a bet of 875,000. Dwek and Zhou both folded, and the decision was now on Meyers. After counting out his stack, he check-raised all in for a total of 2,525,000. Pham asked for a count and then called.

Meyers stood up and tabled {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} for the nut flush draw, while Pham showed {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for the second-nut flush.

Play was held for a moment as the TV crews got set up. The dealer then put out the {8-Spades} on the river, and Meyers was eliminated, sending Pham to celebrate with his rail.

"That was a good dinner, man," yelled one of his supporters.

"We gonna eat tacos soon!" exclaimed Pham.

Meyers was eliminated in 42nd place for a payout of $176,399.
