Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With 11,000 in the middle, three players got to the river with the board showing K♠10♥4♦2♥A♥. David Meadors bet 3,500 on the button and got the middle position player to fold.

The cutoff mulled it over for a few seconds before making the call. Meadors turned over Q♥8♥ for the second nut flush, while the frustrated cutoff tabled K♦2♦ for a cracked two pair.
