Antoine Vranken jammed out of the small blind for 230,000 with the {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and was called by Eric Smidinger in the big blind with the superior {k-Spades}{q-Spades}. The board came {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Vranken turned the nut flush to double.

A few hands later, Smidinger was all-in for the last 100,000 in the cutoff and Gianluca Speranza came along with a button call.

Eric Smidinger: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Gianluca Speranza: {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

The {k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop gave Speranza more outs and while he bricked the {6-Clubs} turn, he got there with the {a-Spades} river to eliminate Smidinger in 19th place for $6,200.
