Tyler Stafman: A♣6♠4♠3♣
Ethan Cahn: A♦Q♠8♥7♦
The turn and river came J♠3♦ to hand Stafman the straight and the pot while forcing Blom to the exits in 22nd place.

Arie Ori Miller: A♣K♦K♣7♦
Anuj [Removed:550]: 9♦6♣6♦5♣

Michael Moncek opened to 210,000 on the button and Anuj [Removed:550] defended in the big blind.
[Removed:550] check-called a bet of 275,000 on the 2♥2♠6♥ flop.
Both players checked through the J♥ turn to the Q♥ river at which point [Removed:550] led out for 300,000. Moncek responded by moving all in for 1,500,000. That sent [Removed:550] deep into the tank, but after burning through a couple of time extensions, he made the call holding A♥Q♠8♥4♠ for the nut flush.
The flush was good as Moncek had attempted a bluff with A♣8♣3♦2♣ (trip deuces) to hit the rail just before the three table redraw.
