Dylan Wilkerson raised to 100,000 in the cutoff and Viktor Blom three-bet to 340,000 in the small blind. "Okay, I'll run it," Wilkerson said as he moved all in, and Blom called for 545,000.
Viktor Blom: A♠6♣5♠5♣2♠ 
Dylan Wilkerson: A♥Q♦8♠3♦2♣
The board ran out 9♣8♦J♦9♥7♣. "Oh, I didn't realize you had an eight," Blom told Wilkerson.
"You have a straight," Edward Jackson Spivack pointed out to Blom.
"I know, but I thought I was good the whole way. That would've been so tilting," Blom replied as he took in his double up.
