All the chips head in the middle from the initial better and Staats folds to Wantman who instantly calls. Two pair is revealed by the all-in player, having Spade 10Club 4 but Wantman is well in front with his Heart KHeart 6 for a flush.

An Club 8 river seals it for Wantman who pulls in the pot, dropping his opponent from the field in the process of doing so.
