Pedro Palacio raises from the hijack to 57,000, Brian England calls from the button, and Nissim Vaknin (pictured) calls from the big blind.

The flop comes Spade JDiamond 8Diamond 7, and it checks to England, who bets 110,000. Vaknin check-raises to 400,000, Palacio folds, and England calls.

The turn card is the Diamond 4, Vaknin moves all in, and England calls all in for 993,000 with Diamond 10Diamond 9 — he flopped a jack-high straight, and turned a ten-high flush. Vaknin turns over Heart JHeart 10 for a pair of jacks with a gutshot straight draw, so he’s drawing dead.

The meaningless river card is the Spade 8, and England wins the pot with his flush to double up in chips, leaving Vaknin with only about 40K.
