Blinds: 600/1,200

"pay4medsch00l" was on the button and completed to put action onto "MegaWinner" in the big blind, who raised to 4,200. "pay4medsch00l" called.

The flop fell {3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and "MegaWinner" made a continuation-bet of 6,500. "pay4medsch00l" raised enough to put "MegaWinner" all in and they called.

"MegaWinner": {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
"pay4medsch00l": {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Despite having the better hand at the moment, "MegaWinner" needed to fade diamonds and nines, and the turn {9-Hearts} did not do that. The river {k-Diamonds} did re-improve them to a pair of kings, but it also gave "pay4medsch00l" a flush and made the result of the match official with "MegaWinner" taking third place in the tournament as a result.
