Shlomo Ovadia: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

After the two players tabled their hands, Chino Rheem told Ovadia, "Well you are drawing to one queen, and there it is," as the flop fell {6-Spades}{10-Hearts}{q-Hearts}.

Ovadia out flopped Fredensburg and the {5-Diamonds} turn changed nothing.

Fredensburg needed a king but the board completed with the {6-Clubs} on the river and he exited the tournament field.
