Jonathan Bensadoun had gotten all-in shoves through the previous two hands, but the third time wouldn't work so well as he moved in his last 35,000 from the small blind. Quan Zhou, who had raised to 6,500 in the cutoff, called.

Bensadoun was already standing up from his chair and packing his things as the dealer spread out the 8♠Q♥6♣J♦7♦ board, giving Zhou top pair and sending Bensadoun to the rail.
