Anatoly Nikitin: K♣Q♣

Kai Cocklin

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Three players were all in preflop in a pot that left two of them eliminated.

Alexandre Rabusseau: Q♥Q♠ All in
Aliaksandr Shylko: A♠K♣ All in
Nate Silver: A♦Q♦

Silver was behind but had a chance to eliminate two opponents if he could find a way to win the hand.

The Q♣3♥9♦ flop looked favorable for Rabusseau but he had to fade some outs after the K♦ turn gave Silver a flush draw.

That flush draw did come in on the 8♦ river which meant Silver scooped the pot and knocked out two players at the same time.
