Tables are being added as the field grows, and Table 73 is the newest table in the room.

Five players put 2,800 each into the pot before the flop, and one of them, Lily Kornik in the cutoff, says, “Now I see what kind of table this is.”

The flop comes Club KHeart 6Spade 5, Manuel Simon checks from the small blind, and Eric Theroux bets 3,800 from under the gun. Sopheak Heang folds from UTG+1, Anthony Piacquadio calls from the hijack, and Kornik and Simon both fold.

The turn card is the Spade J, Theroux bets 5,200, and Piacquadio quickly calls.

The river card is the Heart 4, and both players check. Theroux shows Spade 9Spade 7 for nine high, and Piacquadio turns over Club 7Club 4 to win the pot — worth a whopping 32,600 — with a lowly pair of fours on the river.
