With a board of {8-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}, Mike Wang bet 13,000 into a pot of 18,000. Jonas Mackoff raised it to 30,000 and after tanking for over a minute, Wang pushed his stacks of chips forward and announced "I'm all in." Mackoff made the call and the cards were turned face up:

Wang: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}{J-Hearts}{9-Spades} for kings with a flush draw
Mackoff: {6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for bottom two pair with an open ended straight draw

The turn gave Wang the flush as it was the {A-Hearts} and Mackoff could only knock him out with a river four or three. The river was the {2-Diamonds} and Wang scooped the 125,000 chip pot to move into the chip lead with 15 minutes of play left in the evening. There are 119 players left, only two away from making the money.
