There was heads-up action between two-time MSPT champ Taylor Howard from the cutoff and 2019 MSPT Golden Gates champ Steve Wilkie from the big blind.
With a completed 
board showing, Wilkie led out for 10,000 into a 20,000 pot only to call a 30,000 raise from Howard.
Wilkie rolled over for Broadway but it was no good as Howard held 
to scoop the pot with the club flush.
