Will Difani just eliminated a player when the two got all in on the flop.
Difani had against the 
of his opponent. Both players had an over pair to the nine-high board. The queens did not improve and neither player had a club, as the board ran out putting a four flush on the board.
With that hand, Difani is off to a solid start with more than double the starting stack with the first break of the day approaching.
