Christopher Vitch opened 350,000 in the cutoff and Jay Harwood defended the big blind.

When the J♥9♥9♣ flop hit the felt, Harwood check-called a continuation bet of 225,000 from Vitch.

The 5♣ fell on the turn and Harwood check-jammed over Vitch's bet of 650,000 for about 2,100,000 and Vitch wasted no time making the call.

Jay Harwood: A♥8♣7♥3♣ All in
Christopher Vitch: J♦9♠7♦4♦

Harwood yelled with disappointment to his rail, "I'm dead," as he saw the cards even though he had both flush draws, Vitch already made a full house and the K♠ river was just a formality.
