Tim Duckworth moved all in for his last 7,300 from under-the-gun holding {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}. The action then folded around the table to Grant Levy who reraised all in, in an apparent effort to isolate Duckworth. All others folded and the cards were turned face up:

Showdown
:
Duckworth: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}
Levy: {8-Spades} {8-Clubs}

A straight turned up on the board ({5-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}), but Grant's eights gave him a higher straight to send Duckworth packing. Levy improved to ~100,000 in chips after the hand.
