4 players remaining, 2.6 mill avg (65 bb)

Andrew Batkin (sb) and Robert Bennett (button) get to the turn with a board of Ts6s3hAh.  All the chips go in and Andrew is ahead with As2s for top pair with nut flush draw.  Robert held 8s7s for a useless flush draw and a gutshot straight draw/straight-flush draw.  He needed a 9 on the river to bust Andrew.

River was the 7h and changed nothing.  Andrew doubled up to nearly 2 million chips.  Robert was left with about 650k.
