We didn't catch the action, but the players at the table were able to reconstruct the hand for us. Jason Helder and Jonathan Bodden were heads-up after Bodden called Helder's three-bet preflop. After the flop, Helder bet, Bodden moved all in and Helder made the call.
Helder:
Bodden:
Helder went to looking for a king or seven instead of diamonds, but the board completed and Bodden's flush was bigger. Bodden celebrated loudly after the hand and received a warning from the floor. Bodden is now at about 300,000 and the apparent chip leader.
