On a heads-up flop of 8♠4♠9♥, Jeff Campbell bet 7,000 from the button but was then check-raised to 18,000 by his opponent in the cutoff.
Campbell made the call and the two went to the turn 3♠, to which the cutoff immediately moved all in. Campbell quickly made the call to put his opponent at risk and the cards were o their backs.
The player in the cutoff then proudly tabled J♠9♠ for a flush but that feeling quickly changed when Campbell rolled over K♠Q♠ for an even bigger flush and left his opponent drawing stone dead. The meaningless A♥ came on the river to secure Campbell's victory and eliminated his opponent.

Connor Rash faced a situation after a player in the small blind moved all in for his remaining 6,900.
Rash didn’t have to just contend with the all-in player, but a player on the button was also in the hand after Rash raised preflop. Rash met the challenge head on by moving all in for his remaining 73,000.
The player on the button, who had Rash covered, asked for a count from the player in the small blind, then looked over to Rash before deciding to fold. With the play now heads up, the cards were tabled.
Opponent: 7♠7♥
Connor Rush: A♦J♦
The player on the button saw Rash’s hand and mentioned he mucked ace-queen, and the dealer fanned out 4♣K♥8♥ on the flop. The 8♣ on the turn kept Rash’s opponent in the lead, but the J♥ on the river gave Rash the win and knockout.

Uri Reichenstein raised 1,200 under the gun, and was met by an all in from a player in late position.

The dealer then placed 10♣ on the turn, and 6♠ on the river gave Reichenstein a set and the win to send his opponent to the rail.

Nick Lanzi had less than 20 blinds when he decided to make a stand by going all in from early position.
Action folded to a player in late position, who had Lanzi covered and he made the call to put Lanzi at risk.
Nick Lanzi: 8♣8♥
Opponent: A♠K♣
The dealer fanned 3♣5♦8♦ on the flop, giving Lanzi a commanding grip on the hand. Lanzi’s opponent was openly disgusted at the outcome, muttering under his breath over his misfortune. The 6♦ and 3♥ were formalities, but winning the hand gave Lanzi a much-need double up.
