The flop was {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{3-Diamonds}

between Tom Lutz and Warren Zackey. After some ferocious betting and raising, the two players got all of the money in the middle. Lutz was the player at risk and all in for a whopping 1.85 million. To put that number into better perspective, it's over 150 big blinds.

Lutz held {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

for the nut flush draw and two overs to Zackey's {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{10-Clubs}

.

The turn brought the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

, leaving Lutz still hoping.

The river brought the {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

, completely missing Lutz. Zackey's tens were able to hold and he moved up to a chip leading 3.95 million. Lutz was eliminated on the hand.
