Two-time WPT champion Brian Altman (pictured) raises from middle position to 125,000, Theodore Lui reraises from the cutoff to 375,000, and Altman calls. The flop comes Diamond JHeart JHeart 10, Altman checks, Lui bets 300,000, and Altman thinks for a while before he moves all in for 2,170,000.

Lui snap-calls with Heart AClub J for trip jacks, and Altman turns over Heart 9Heart 8 for an open-ended straight-flush draw. Altman needs to improve to stay alive.

The turn card is the Diamond 4, the river card is the Heart K, and Altman rivers his heart flush to win the pot and double up in chips.

Brian Altman  –  5,240,000  (87 bb)
Theodore Lui  –  590,000  (10 bb)
