Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We arrived at the table on the flop with the board showing {4-Spades}{k-Hearts}{7-Clubs} to see Daryl and another player get all their chips in the middle. Katz turned over {k-Spades}{7-Spades}, and his opponent showed {k-}{7-}. Both players had flopped top two pair, and it looked like it would be a split pot. The turn and river, however, came {2-Spades}, {j-Spades}, giving Katz a flush and knocking his opponent out of the tournament.

After the hand, Katz was up to 120,000. He lost a few chips on the next hand trying to knock out a short stack, and now sits with 108,000.
