Action was followed from when Isaiah Goldman had raised to 15,000 from middle position and Robert Cowen re-raised to 25,000 on the button. Cary Katz called and Goldman moved all in for his 65,100. Cowen moved out a stack of approximately 200,000 to cover Katz's remaining 125,000, who also joined and put himself at risk.

Isaiah Goldman: A♠A♥7♥5♥All in
Cary Katz: 9♠8♠6♦5♦All in
Robert Cowen: A♣K♦J♥9♦

Goldman was ahead with pocket aces before any board was dealt, and he improved on the A♦3♣Q♦ flop. The 4♠ turn brought in some straight draw outs for Katz but it was the 2♦ river which put Cowen ahead having rivered the king high flush, seeing to both of his opponents' eliminations.
