Thangaraj Wins a Flip
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Balakumaran Thangaraj open-shoved in middle position to put himself at risk, and was called by Scot Fahrenbruch in the small blind.
Balakumaran Thangaraj: A♣K♣ 
Scot Fahrenbruch: 9♣9♥
"Oh, just flop it," said Fahrenbruch as the dealer put out the 3♣J♣8♣ flop.
The 6♦ fell on the turn and the A♥ landed on the river, and Thangaraj scooped the pot with the nut flush.
