In Min would open the pot from the button to 22,000, and after a fold from the small blind, Gary Schoengold would push for a total of 65,000. Min would think for a few moments while shuffling his chips, but would stack the amount for a call and push it across his cards. The two hands would be tabled and it would be the A♠ J♥ of Schoengold versus the A♣ 8♣ of Min.
The flop of 2♠ K♥ 6♣ would seem fairly safe for Gary, but the table would start chirping when the 7♣ came on the turn. The dealer would expose the 4♣ on the river, and Min would go runner-runner flush, coming from behind and sending home Gary just short of the pay jump. Schoengold will collect $635 for his 37th place finish, with the next eight players to be eliminated receiving $776.
In Min - 340,000
Gary Schoengold - 37th Place ($635)
