Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

David Vamplew raised to 4,500 from under the gun, Jonathan Little three-bet shoved from the button for 34,000, and Michael Gagliano tanked for about 60 seconds before he called all in for 30,100 from the small blind. Vamplew folded.

"I had no idea what to do with this hand," said Gagliano, as he showed {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}.

"Fold," said Little with a smile, as he tabled {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}, giving Gagliano the nut flush to double through Little.
