Paul Magriel was all in with {4-Clubs}{4-Spades} for his last 70,000 and up against Seat 1's {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. Things didn't look good when the flop came {5-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, giving his opponent a pair of aces.

The turn was the {8-Clubs} and Magriel seemed resigned to his fate. The river had other ideas as it came the {J-Clubs}. "I have a flush," Magriel announced. It was true and he doubled to 140,000.
