Majdei Abzakh had just lost most of his stack when he went all-in for 300 chips and got three callers.

The flop came {6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and the floor was called over on the {k-Clubs} turn when Jack Cavanaugh checked out of turn. At showdown on the {3-Spades} river, Cavanaugh tabled ace-queen with the {a-Clubs} for the nut flush, sending Rodriguez to the rail with his {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds} after he flopped two-pair.

"That hand was bizarre," said Michael Sweeney, who was involved the hand.

Elisa Nakagawa told the table that she folded a set.

La Gets Opponent to Lay Down Big Hand

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

Tom La raised to 7,000 from out of position on a flop of {k-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and his opponent called in the heads up pot. La then shipped the rest of his stack on the {j-Spades} turn, and his opponent tanked before folding.

Shortly after, La's opponent told him that he laid down a big hand. It looked like La's stack was up to about 22,000 after the hand.
