Grundy had flopped the straight and held the lead, until the case spiked on the turn. Suddenly the short-stacked Klien sprung to life as he made a broadway straight to take the lead.
However, the final twist on the river was the to give D'ancona an unlikely victory with his running flush to scoop the pot. Hanson bemoaned folding what would have been the winning hand with the nut flush.
A disgruntled Klien hits the rail and D'ancona jumps to 160,000 while Grundy falls to 128,000.
