Level 6 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

David McGowan got his last chips 5,000 chips or so in with Q♥8♦ against the 9♣9♦ of Chris Hunichen.

After a queen spiked the river on a 7♥6♥2♥2♦Q♣ board, he was left with three big blinds.

He then was all in against Emilien Pitavy for 17,500 with 5♣3♠ against the K♠Q♠

McGowan picked up a flush draw on the 10♠9♣4♣8♣ turn, but the 8♦ river bricked and he was eliminated.

He swiftly reentered.
