Gaspard held {K-Clubs}

and McKoy held {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

. The flop came down {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{J-Hearts}

{5-Diamonds}

and put Gaspard in the lead. With McKoy's tournament life hanging on edge, the dealer smacked the {Q-Hearts}

{9-Clubs}

and McKoy was able to double up.
