Sarah Pritchard raised to 3,000 under the gun and it was called by a player two seats over and the big blind.

Opponent: K♠7♠

"You got me" said Pritchard, who was in terrible shape for her tournament's life, facing two pair in her opponent's hand. However, the board was completed by 3♦6♦ to give her a runner-runner flush and the needed double up.
