The completed board shows Diamond AHeart QDiamond 4Diamond 6Club J and Erik Rozhynskyi awaits his fate as he is already all-in. Daniel Neilson bets 130,000 and then faces the all-in of Jesus Espinosa Fernandez, after which he takes a couple of seconds before the call.

The Spaniard shows his Diamond 10Diamond 8 for the flush and Rozhynskyi is beaten with his Club 8Club 7. However, Neilson rolls over the Diamond KDiamond 5 for the nut flush and that sends two players packing.

“Why didn’t you snap call?” Yunkyu Song asks and Neilson grins back “because it’s more fun this way” before sipping on his glass of red wine.

Daniel Neilson – 805,000 (201 bb)
Yunkyu Song – 215,000 (54 bb)
Jesus Espinosa Fernandez – Eliminated
Erik Rozhynskyi – Eliminated
