Koray Aldemir completed and was called by Dan Cates. On fourth street, Aldemir bet his lead and Cates raised, picking up a call by Aldemir. Fifth street brought a bet by Aldemir and a call by Cates before Aldemir bet again sixth street when he paired his open king.
Cates raised for the second time and Aldemir reluctantly called. After seventh street, Aldemir check-called and was shown a flush by Cates.
