Tsai Knocks Out Bitton
Nível 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Roy Bitton opened to 1,200 from the button and Andy Tsai three-bet to 4,000 from the big blind. Bitton made the call.
The flop came K♦7♦8♠. Tsai bet 5,200, Bitton shoved for 35,100 and Tsai, who had Bitton slightly covered, made the call.
Roy Bitton: 6♦4♦ 
Andy Tsai: A♦J♦
Bitton had a flush draw and a gutshot but was in bad shape against Tsai who had the nut-flush draw. Tsai made second pair on the J♥ turn leaving Bitton drawing only to a non-diamond five. The Q♥ river was a brick and Bitton was sent to the rail while Tsai collected nearly a full double up.
