Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

There were over 25,000 in the middle when this hand was picked up on the 9♥Q♦4♥J♥6♠ board.

Jonathan Therme put out a bet of 21,000 from early position. Shai Arbel gave it some thought before he committed his stack of approximately 20,800 to be all-in and at risk. Dilipkumar Patel folded on the button as Therme and Arbel went to a showdown.

Therme showed the goods when he tabled A♥8♥ for the nut flush. Arbel revealed K♥Q♥ for the second nut flush as he stood up and left the tournament area.
