Aristoteles Neto limps in from early position. It folds to Zac Costa in the small blind who shoves all in, and Dominick Pelli shoves for less (43,000) in the big blind. Neto folds, and the two players table their hands.

"I folded sevens, I almost jammed," Neto says.

Costa: A♥A♦
Pelli: A♠K♥

The flop comes 8♠7♠6♣, leaving Costa's aces far in the lead.  But the 10♠ turn brings a third spade.

A few of Pelli's friends on the rail call for a spade, and it's the 6♠ that arrives on the river, awarding the pot to Pelli with his ace high flush.

"That's the first time that's ever happened to me," Pelli says, "I've been on the other side of that before, but never won like that."

Dominick Pelli - 99,000
Zac Costa - 255,000
