Anton showed A♦J♦ for the nut flush, and his opponent mucked.

Charles Furey had doubled up his short stack once before he and Russ Dunlevy saw the turn on a board of J♦7♠A♠Q♦. Dunlevy then bet 6,000 from the big blind and Furey moved all in for 15,000 in the cutoff.
"I have ace-jack," Dunlevy said as he reluctantly tossed his chips in the middle.
"Ace-jack is good," Furey replied, showing K♦9♦ for straight and flush draws. Dunlevy had A♣J♠ and held on through the 6♠ river to send Furey to the rail.
"That felt like a slow roll. I apologize," Dunlevy told him.

Charles Furey raised to 1,200 in the hijack, Dinesh Purohit three-bet to 3,700 in the cutoff, and Furey called.
The flop came J♦5♠3♥ and Purohit continued for 3,200. Furey called to the 7♥ turn, where Purohit bet another 6,500. Furey again called.
The river was the 3♣ and Furey moved all in, sending Purohit deep into the tank. He took several minutes to make a decision and eventually stuck in his last 37,900.
Furey could only show Q♥9♥ for a missed flush draw, and Purohit let out a loud yell as he turned over Q♣Q♦ to win the pot and double up.

A player under the gun raised to 1,000 and Charles Furey called in early position. Bob Fikac then three-bet to 3,500 in the big blind, and both opponents called.
The flop came Q♣6♦10♠ and Fikac checked to the under-the-gun player, who bet 4,000. Furey called, while Fikac got out of the way.
Action checked to Furey on the 10♥ turn and he bet 4,000. His opponent took a minute but eventually decided to fold, surrendering the pot to Furey.

Around 15,000 was in the middle as Louis Bailey and Alvin Anton went to the turn on a board of A♠2♠7♣6♥. Bailey then moved all in from the big blind, and Anton called for his last 13,000 in early position.
Anton showed A♥10♦ for top pair, but Bailey had him out-kicked with A♣K♦. The river was the 6♣ and Bailey's king-kicker played to send Anton to the rail.
