Meanwhile...

Just before the redraw, at the same time that Nikolay Evdakov was being shocked into betting all of his chips, a big pot was brewing on Orange #19 between Jamie Pickering and Kenneth Matsson. The flop showed {A-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}. Pickering bet out 50,000. Matsson raised to 150,000. Pickering reraised to over 200,000 and Matsson called all in.

Pickering: {9-Spades} {8-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}
Matsson: {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}

It was two pair for Matsson against Pickering's huge flush draw and wrap draw. The {5-Spades} hit the turn, drawing an exasperated "No!" from Pickering. He hit his wrap with the {7-Spades} river, but it didn't matter. Matsson's full house was best.

After the hand, Matsson made a huge jump to 510,000, while Pickering slipped to 130,000.
