Jani Karke moved all in from middle position for 29,500. Eric Mutrie reraised all in for 157,000 total behind him. Wai Yuen went into the tank for a very long time. After about 12 minutes, she announced that she was making a very big fold and mucked her hand, but her cards were never revealed.

Karke turned up {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{5-Hearts}

and was way behind Mutrie's {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

.

The flop was placed on the felt {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{2-Clubs}

and things looked grim for Karke. The turn brought the {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

, giving Mutrie a set. Karke needed a diamond and a diamond only on the river. But, when all seemed lost for Karke, the dealer slapped the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

on the river, netting Karke his flush and the winning hand.

Karke doubled up to about 70,000 on the hand.
