Massive Confrontation, Baby

The table was down to its very last hand of the night when its two biggest stacks got into a pot-repot war on a {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop. Kevin Schaffel just had Scotty Nguyen's 80k covered when they got it all.

Schaffel: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs} for top set
Nguyen: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades} for the queen-high flush draw

Boom, baby. The {4-Clubs} on the turn made Scotty's flush. But uhoh! You don't get to the November Nine without hitting miracles. The {5-Hearts} on the river gave Schaffel a boat. He eliminated a stunned Scotty and jumped into a decisive chip lead with 178,900.
