Hand #61: Jason Potter Eliminated in 4th Place ($103,030)

Hand #61 - Zach Hyman has the button in seat 1, he raises to 140,000, Potter moves all in from the small blind for 190,000, and Hyman calls with A5. Potter shows A3, and it's another likely chop situation.

The board comes Q84, and Hyman picks up a spade flush draw. The turn card pairs the board with the 8, and Potter needs to avoid a five, a deuce, and all the spades to stay alive.

The river card is the 7, and Hyman claps his hands once and says, "Yes!" as he makes his flush to win the hand, increasing his stack to about 1,035,000.

Jason Potter is eliminated in fourth place, earning $103,030.

Zach Hyman wins the pot.
