Level 23 : Blinds 0/0, 30,000 ante

A♦7♣8♣4♠8♠
5♠A♣9♠9♦Q♦

First to act David Williams bet out 80,000 into the field. When action folded round to Bjorn Verbakel, he potted. The bet covered Williams, who called and put himself at risk.

Williams' J♣10♣10♠7♠ had a flush draw on both boards, however they both bricked and he was left playing just a pair of tens on each. Verbakel's A♥K♦8♥6♦ stayed in the lead the whole way, as he knocked his opponent out just before the pay jump.
