"BrigBeast06": 
"JinYang": 
"BrigBeast06" had their opponent dominated and was a huge favorite to earn a double. The flop came 
to give them the nut flush, all but securing the double as long as they could fade running full house outs. The turn 
made the result certain and the river 
completed the runout before the pot was shipped to "BrigBeast06, who finished with the nuts en route to a double.

With play in Level 11 and blinds of 1,400/2,800 with an ante of 350, "avidsmores" raised to 20,000 under the gun and "centrfieldr23" went all in over the top. Action made its way back to "avidsmores" and they called off the last 8,000 or so that remained in their stack.
"avidsmores":
"centrfieldr23":
The two were in a coin flip situation with "avidsmores" out in front, pulling further ahead on the flop
