Arthur Conan found himself all in and at risk preflop versus Razvan Belea who had a covering stack.

Arthur Conan: A♣Q♠
Razvan Belea: K♥J♥

Conan was initially ahead but the 9♥8♥7♦ flop gave Belea a plethora of outs in the form of two overcards and a flush draw. Belea hit the flush on the Q♥ turn, leaving Conan drawing dead. The 9♦ river changed nothing and Conan's run came to an end while Belea took down a nice pot.
