Qinghai Pan: XxXx / 8♠9♣4♥4♣ / Xx

Lonis led on fourth and fifth, with Pan sticking around.

Pan made open fours on sixth and led. Pan then checked on seventh, and Lonis peeked at his final card before he shook his head, checking back as he tabled 10♠10♥7♠ in the hole.

He expected Pan to roll over a winner, but he mucked as Lonis's pair of tens was enough for the win.

The two discussed if Lonis would have called a final bet, and he concluded that he was 60 percent to call, for whatever that is worth.

Bolden had the nut flush for the high while ace-four was good for the low for Tull.

"Couldn't fold that garbage for three bets preflop," Bolden complained about Tull's hand. "This sh*t is gonna be easier than I thought it was going to be."
