Action was picked up on the turn in a hand between the small blind and Raymark Policarpio in the big blind with around 16,000 in the middle.
With the board reading 7♥4♦3♦5♦, the small blind jammed for her remaining 10,000 or so and Policarpio snapped it off as the covering stack.
Small blind: 7♠6♥
Raymark Policarpio: 7♦6♦
The small blind flopped top pair and hit a gutter on the turn, but it was no match for the straight flush of Policarpio as the table gasped at the brutal cooler. The 4♣ river was irrelevant as Policarpio collected the high hand of the day.

Daniel Lehmann opened the hijack to 2,500 before Barry Hatcher three-bet to 6,600 from the cutoff. The player in the big blind cold-called and Lehmann came along as well.
On the K♦Q♣8♦ flop, the action checked to Hatcher who jammed for 20,900. The big blind folded before Lehman snap-called.
Barry Hatcher: 8♥8♣
Daniel Lehmann: A♦Q♦
Hatcher flopped bottom set against the middle pair and flush draw of Lehmann, who had his outs reduced from nine to seven on the Q♠ turn as he was now drawing to a higher boat rather than a flush. The J♣ river sealed the double for Hatcher as his bottom boat held.
