Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

The flop came K♥J♥4♠ and Hill check-called a 330,000 continuation bet from Wantman.

Kenneth Hill: 7♥6♥ All in
Matthew Wantman: A♥A♦

Hill had turned a flush to crack Wantman's aces but the 4♥ turn gave Wantman the nut-flush.

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Alejandro Ganivet shoved for 650,000 from the cutoff and Tyler Cornell called with a covering stack from the big blind to put him at risk.

Alejandro Ganivet: A♦A♣ All in
Tyler Cornell: J♣J♦

Both playersh had monsters but Ganivet was a huge favorite with the best possible starting hand. That all changed with a jack in the window on the J♥Q♠3♣ flop, leaving Ganivet drawing to just two outs or a running straight. The 2♦ turn and Q♥ river were clean for Cornell who took the pot while Ganivet's deep run came to an end in brutal fashion.
