Daniel Lowery raised to 5,000 from early position, and when it folded to Blair Hinkle in the big blind, he made the call.
Both players checked the 9♣8♠3♥ flop, to see the 10♣ on the river. Hinkle then bet all in for his stack of 20,500, and Lowery said, "I can't fold that turn card" and made the call to put Hinkle at risk.
Blair Hinkle: Q♣7♣
Daniel Lowery: K♣J♣
Both players had massive draws, but Lowery had the best hand with king high and the bigger flush draw. The river was the 8♦ and Lowery took the pot with his king high, eliminating Hinkle.

A player under the gun open-jammed for his stack of roughly 70,000, which was called by John Lopez in middle position to put him at risk.
Under the Gun: 10♠4♠
John Lopez: K♠K♦
The under the gun player ran into the kings of Lopez, but the 4♣7♥10♣ flop gave the all-in player the lead with two pair. However, it was short lived as the 7♦ counterfeited his two pair, and the 6♠ gave Lopez the pot, with his two pair kings and sevens, eliminating his opponent.
