Raninen Runs Stack Into Lund's Flush
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Three-way to a 9♠7♠3♠ flop, Jonny Raninen checked from the big blind to Asgeir Lund under the gun, who bet 15,000. Ruben Elden called in middle position, and Raninen came along to the 3♦ turn as well.
After Raninen checked a second time, Lund promptly moved all in. Elden quickly folded to the overbet, leaving himself 20 big blinds, but Raninen sighed and decided to call off for 215,000.
Jonny Raninen: 9♦8♣ 
Asgeir Lund: A♠4♠
Lund had flopped the nut flush, but Raninen still had outs thanks to the paired board. The 2♠ river changed nothing, however.
The overwhelming chipleader added even more to his stack by eliminating Raninen, ending up with about five times the average stack.
