Christopher Smith opens for 65,000 and action folds to Najib Kero in the BB, who asks for the bet amount, and then makes the call.
Both players check the 7c – 9s – 6s action flop, with Kero leading out for 150,000 on the 7s more-action turn. Smith doesn’t waste much time in making the call.
6h comes on the even-more-action river, and Smith moves all in for his last 385,000. Kero asks for a count, asks for a count a second time, asks the pot be spread, gets clock called on him and then makes the call for half of his stack.
Smith shows 8h- 7h for a flopped middle pair and open-ended draw that turned trips and rivered a boat.
Kero shows 4s -5s for a flopped open-ended straight draw and a flush draw and completed the flush on the turn and was also an open-ended straight flush draw that was beaten on the river.
Smith to 1.2 million, Kero to 385,000, 6-handed play continues in the main event.
