Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 3♦6♦4♦, Ionel Anton got his last 350,000 in the middle from the cutoff against an opponent in the hijack.

Ionel Anton A♦K♠ All in
Opponent: K♦10♦

"One time," Anton yelled out as he stood up from his seat. He had the nut flush draw, while his opponent had flopped a flush. The turn came the 8♦ and Anton completed his draw to leave his opponent drawing dead.

"Yes," Anton loudly cried out as he sealed the double up once the 2♠ completed the board. His defeated opponent quickly left the table as most of his stack was pushed to Anton.

All-In Player: A♦Q♦ All in
Michel Habib: 10♥10♣

Habib was ahead with his two tens and the at-risk player found no help on the 6♣ turn or 9♠ river and made a quick exit from the tournament area.
