on the flop, Saad Ghanem check-raised to 45,000 from the small blind. Action folded around to Kent Buckingham for the three-bet shove to 190,000. Ghanem went deep into the tank for a few minutes, lamenting how "sexy" his hand was before finally making the call. 
for a flopped set of eights. Ghanem showed 
and the river fell 
to give Ghanem the flush in a celebration that included chicken noises. 
on the board, Michael Bailey bet 27,000 into James Vales in the small blind. Vales tanked for a brief time before making the call. Bailey showed 
for three kings and Vales mucked his cards.
