Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Zeph Irion limped in from middle position before Tyler Klumb raised to 31,000 in the small blind. Bryan Engebretson called in the big blind, as did Irion.

The flop came A♣4♣8♣ and Klumb continued for 50,000. Only Irion called to see the 6♥ turn.

Klumb then moved all in, and Irion took a minute before calling for 102,000. Klumb showed A♠K♦ for top pair, while Irion had Q♦10♣ for a flush draw. The Q♣ on the river gave him his flush and the double up.

"God dammit," Klumb said as he shot out of his seat before handing over the pot.
