More than 1,000,000 was already in the pot as Youness Barakat and Alexander Petersen went to the river on a completed board of A♠4♦9♣10♦Q♦.
Barakat then moved all in from the small blind, having Petersen's remaining 700,000 covered. "Why do I hit the flush? How are you bluffing?" Petersen said as he tanked for a few minutes.
"If I fold and you show a bluff, I won't be able to sleep tonight and it will be way more expensive," Petersen added. He eventually put in the rest of his chips.
"You win," Barakat said, showing A♦K♥9♠8♥ for two pair. Petersen didn't have a flush, but he did show J♣10♥8♣4♣ for a straight to win the pot and double up.
"This crazy guy from Denmark. We all believed he had the flush," Dominykas Karmazinas said.
"If I win, going out tonight is on me," Petersen told him.
"You can't afford to go out with me," Karmazinas added.

: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Dimitri Steinfeuer, still rocking out to his music, raised to 60,000 in the cutoff as Eran Carmi on the button and big blind Andriy Lyubovetskiy came along.
The flop came 8♣4♥3♥ and action checked to Carmi who bet 150,000. Lyubovetskiy then potted to 650,000, Steinfeuer called for his last 250,000, while Carmi also put in his last 550,000.
Dimitri Steinfeuer: J♥9♥7♥7♦
Eran Carmi: A♥Q♥5♥5♣
Andriy Lyubovetskiy: A♣3♦3♣2♦
Steinfeuer and Carmi both had flush draws, while Lyubovetskiy showed a set. The A♠ turn and Q♠ river missed both opponents and Lyubovetskiy scooped the pot to send both players to the rail.
Bernard Larabi, who began the day second in chips, was also recently eliminated.

In the 886th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Kyna England discuss the Florida man who was arrested for allegedly laundering $800K from illegal poker games. That led to a larger discussion on policy over such games and whether law enforcement is doing justice by cracking down.
They then share results from Doug Polk's $100K 'Code Doug' Challenge, including a big hand he played against Eric Persson; highlight recent tournament winners such as Shannon Shorr, Francis Anderson, and Missy Bartleme; Jesse Lonis crushing the recently-completed PGT PLO Series; and highlights from Chad's trip to the Eastern Poker Open near Boston.
Plus, get a preview of Alexandra Botez on the Life Outside Poker podcast, Kyna's thoughts on a poker player being on Netflix’s Million Dollar Secret, and remembering Keith Hall & Stan Shrier, who both passed away within the past week.
Finally, they ask the question: Are you excited for the WSOP?

Robin Palm and Dimitri Steinfeuer checked to the turn on a board of K♥6♠A♥9♠ when Palm bet 150,000 from the button.
Steinfeuer rocked his head to the tune of a song he was listening to on his headphones as he took a minute before calling. Steinfeuer began to sing while the dealer turned over the 7♦ river, eliciting a few smiles from around the table.
Palm then moved all in for 370,000 and Steinfeuer, with around 280,000 remaining, continued bobbing to the music while he again tanked before deciding to fold this time.
