Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Action folded around to Lee Cobb on the button who open-shoved for 175,000 to put himself at risk. Arlo Strozewski made the call in the small blind.

Lee Cobb: K♣J♣ All in
Arlo Strozewski: A♣Q♠

Cobb picked up a flush draw on the 5♥8♣9♣ flop and got there on the 5♣ turn. However, Strozewski still had outs to the nut flush.

Cobb would need to dodge a club on the river to stay alive and he did exactly that when the 10♥ completed the board.

Arlo Strozewski	1,050,000 250,000	250,000
