Flush Over Flush Gives Cartwright a Big One
Kyle Cartwright opened the action with a raise to 12,000 from under the gun, and was called by the player in the small blind.
The flop came Q♦Q♣2♦ and the small blind check-called a bet of 8,000 from Cartwright.
After the J♦ on the turn, the small blind checked to Carwright who fired out 17,000. Then small blind then raised to 40,000, and Cartwright responded by three-betting all in for his stack of 115,000, and the small blind called for slightly less, putting himself at risk.
Small Blind: 10♦9♦ 
Kyle Cartwright: A♦3♦
Both players turned a flush, but Carwright held the ace high flush. However, his opponent did have two outs to make a straight flush, but the river brought the A♠ and Cartwright scooped the pot, as his opponent left the tournament area.
