No Repeat for Keikoan

Level 8 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Our reigning champion, Matt Keikoan, was just eliminated from the tournament. He was down to his last 1,000 and got it in against our chip leader Shawn Buchanan.

Keikoan: {j-Clubs}{7-Spades}
Buchanan: {a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

The board ran out {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Spades}{a-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and strangely, the dealer and most of the players at the table seemed to only see that Keikoan had made a flush. The dealer began pushing the pot towards Keikoan until one of the other players at the table interjected, "Hey, he [Buchanan] has a full house."

It seems that Buchanan and the dealer hadn't even realized it and the pot was then correctly pushed to Buchanan and Keikoan was sent to the rail.
