The action was picked up on the river with a runout showing 3♦ 8♠ T♠ 3♠ 7♠ and around 250,000 chips in the pot. Kristof Segers checked over from the small blind, and Hoang Le Anh Tuan fired out 195,000 from the big blind. After over 1 minute, Segers dropped in a call.

After Tuan tabled an unbeatable flush with K♠ 5♦, Segers mucked his cards.

Kristof Segers raised to 60,000 from late position and Hoang Le Anh Tuan three-bet to 180,000 from the cutoff, which Segers made the call.

A flop came 9♥ K♥ 3♦, and Segers checked the action to Tuan, who continued with a bet of 130,000, which didn’t deter Segers from dropping in a call.
