From under the gun, Jeff Sherid moved all in for his remaining 10,000 chips. He was called by Kurosh Dejgosha who had {A-Clubs}

. Sherid was happy to be live with {J-Hearts}

.

The flop hit both players when it came {J-Spades}

. Sherid picked up top pair, but his opponent still had two over cards, plus the club flush draw.

The turn made that flush when the {8-Clubs}

hit, leaving Sherid drawing dead to the river {10-Diamonds}

.

After the hand, Sherid looked cheery, as he said, "Those are the best cards I've seen all day. Good tournament, gentlemen." After a quick nod, he headed off to the payout clerk to pick up his winnings.
