Kihara looked him up and Baker turned over A♥6♣3♣2♥ for a flush. Kihara sent his hand into the muck and Baker padded his stack.

Chad Eveslage opened on the button and was called by Michael Parizon in the small blind.

Parizon checked to Eveslage on the 3♦10♥7♦ flop before calling a continuation.

The 5♦ turn saw Parizon check again, then put in a raise after Eveslage fired off a second barrel. Eveslage flatted to see a river.

Once the 3♣ river completed the board Parizon led out only to see Eveslage raise. That did not deter Parizon as he came back over the top, forcing a quick fold from Eveslage.
