Payan's Turn to Double Through Patel
Just one hand after he doubled up David Sands, Emil Patel was back in action doubling up Elie Payan. Here's how it went down.
Patel raised to 48,000 from the cutoff seat and Payan called from the big blind to see the flop come down 
. Payan bet 62,000 with 309,000 behind and Patel studied. Eventually he raised to 154,000. Payan took his own time, about a minute, and then reraised all in for 371,000 total. Patel called.
Patel: 
Payan: 
Both players held the same hand currently and each had a diamond flush draw. Payan's flush draw was a bit better.
The turn was the 
and the river the 
to give Payan the winning diamond flush and double him up.
