Ngo and Gulikers Both Get There
On a 
flop, Khiem Ngo had his last 35,500 in from the big blind, David Gulikers had called from under the gun, and was now faced with a shove from the small blind for 119,500 total. Gulikers confirmed the amount, then tanked for a minute before making the call for the majority of his remaining stack.
Khiem Ngo: 
Small Blind: 
David Gulikers: 
The small blind was ahead with top two, while Ngo had top pair and a backdoor flush draw, while Gulikers was open-ended. The small blind survived the 
turn, but Ngo picked up a flush draw.
"God damn!" said the big blind after the 
came on the river, completing both Ngo's flush and Gulikers' straight. The big blind hit the rail with a bad beat story, while Ngo scooped in the main pot and Gulikers took the hefty side pot.
