Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Three players moved all in, Arthur Schiavo and Brittney Barnes included. The third opponent went in as the short-stack as the three flipped over their cards.

Opponent:
Arthur Schiavo:
Brittney Barnes:

The flop came down and Barnes needed to hit or she would lose both the main and side pot. A peeled off on the turn, giving Barnes the lead but both of her opponents picked up a flush draw.

The river came down an unlikely , giving both players holding big slick a flush with Schiavo having the higher of the two. Schiavo doubled through Barnes and sent one player out the door in the process of doing so.
