: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Jeremy Becker opened the action from middle position with a raise to 2,000, which was called by Chino Rheem. It then folded to Brock Wilson in the big blind, who three-bet to 13,000, which both Becker and Wilson called.
The flop came 9♠4♠8♥ and Wilson bet out 15,000. Becker responded with a raise to 30,000, before Rheem clicked it back with a three-bet to 45,000.
Wilson then went into the tank, using three-time extensions, before supposedly mucking pocket aces, although Wilson did not 100% confirm.
But after Wilson mucked, Becker decided to put in a four-bet to 60,000, before Rheem clicked it back with a five-bet to 75,000.
But Becker wasn't done yet, six-betting to 90,000 before Rheem eventually just called.
With both players having crumbs behind, after the K♥ on the turn, Rheem moved all in, and Becker quickly called, and the players tabled two shocking hands.
Jeremy Becker: J♠10♠ 
Chino Rheem: 6♠5♠
When Becker called, Rheem muttered "I have six high" which got Becker to jump out of seat in excitement as he tabled his jack high, with the better flush draw.
The jack high of Becker was then good enough to give him more than a double up in Level 1, after the 2♦ completed the board, leaving Wilson disgusted, and the rest of the table in disbelief.
Wilson said after the hand "How do you both have a combo draw there?"
Chris Hunichen at the table then broke down the hand for the rest of the room, saying "That was the most incredible hand I've ever seen in my life"
