After a flop of Spade 10Spade 9Diamond 3, Chane Kampanatsanyakorn (pictured) checks the big blind, the under-the-gun player moves all in for 8,600, and Kampanatsanyakorn thinks for a while before he calls with Heart 9Spade 8 (pair of nines). His opponent turns over Spade ASpade 6 for a spade flush draw, needing to improve to stay alive.

The turn is the Heart 8, the river is the Diamond 4, and Kampanatsanyakorn wins the pot with two pair, nines and eights, to bust his opponent and take the chip lead.
