Adrian Mateos Diaz raised to 500 and was called by Lily Kiletto, Rainer Kempe and Steve Gross in the big blind. The flop came down J-6-5 with two diamonds and Kiletto bet 1,500.
Kempe raised to 4,300 and everyone folded back to Kiletto, who called. The turn was an offsuit 9 and Kempe bet 7,200 of his roughly 8,000 stack. Kiletto moved all in and he called with a set of fives.
Kiletto showed K
4 for a flush draw and got there when the 10 hit the river. Kempe is now out, at least for the time being, and Kiletto has 55,000.
