Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Patrick Korty raised to 9,000 from late position and in the cutoff, Steven Stout moved all in for 40,000. On the button, Jeremy Hill moved all in for 104,000 which saw Brady Wieland move all in from the big blind. Korty quickly counted his stack out before tossing away 10♣10♠.

Steven Stout: K♣K♠
Jeremy Hill: Q♥Q♦
Brady Wieland: K♥K♦

The flop of A♣4♣2♣ saw Stout pick up a flush draw, while leaving Hill with just one out to scoop. The turn J♠ changed nothing, but the river 6♣ gave Stout the nut flush to scoop the main and triple. Wieland's kings held up against Hill's queens for the side pot to bring the field down to 17.
