The board showed {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, action was checked to Martijn Gerrits who moved all in for more than enough to cover his opponent. After several moments of thought, his opponent made the call for his remaining 30,000 and Gerrits turned over {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a flush.

His opponent knocked the table and said,"Good Hand" as he stood up and headed to the late registration desk. Gerrits is now sitting near the top of the pack with a very healthy stack.
