Level 6
: 150/300, 50 ante
The board read 
and the player in the big blind had gone all in. The player in mid-position contemplated his options but decided to also shove. Kenny Hallaert was sitting on the button and snap-called.
The player in the big blind held 
for the turned flush but the player in mid-position had 
for the higher flush. But Hallaert had them both beat with 
as he had flopped the full house to take both players out of the running.
