According to the table, Watt raised to 1,100 from under the gun and the big blind jammed for his remaining stack. Watt called. Apparently there was some history there from the satellite last night, and the big blind was freerolling this event after having won a couple of seats already.
The flop came and Watt immediately flopped a flush draw. The turn was the to complete his flush, but his opponent also held a diamond. The river was the and Watt raked in the pot to send his opponent to the rail.

The river was the and Dansereau paused for a moment before betting 10,000. Alibay min-raised to 20,000 and Dansereau folded. Alibay confidently whipped over the and mucked his other card face down. A player at the table asked if he had the for a straight flush because there's a high-hand bonus. He opted to have the card remain face down and raked in the pot.

He proceeded to bet 9,000. Boutin was in the tank and Scott said "You know what you gotta do" as he shuffled his cards back and forth. "You hit that" said Boutin. "I'm not allowed to talk about the hand" replied Scott. "If this was a cash game I'd ask you to pick one" he continued. Eventually, Boutin folded and Scott raked in the pot.
