Eelis Parssinen opened to 35,000 from middle position and Jason Koon called from the hijack. Gruffudd Pugh-Jones also defended his big blind and the three players were taken to the 9♦5♣K♣ flop.

Pugh-Jones and Parssinen checked, Koon bet 30,000 and Pugh-Jones made it 185,000. Parssinen quickly mucked and Koon moved in a stack to cover Pugh-Jones's remaining stack of around 165,000. Pugh-Jones snap called and the pair flipped their hands.

Gruffudd Pugh-Jones: A♣9♣6♣5♦All in
Jason Koon: K♥K♦7♠6♥

Koon was ahead, having flopped the set of kings, but Pugh-Jones was sitting with two pair and and the club flush draw.

A 8♠ turn saw Gruffudd Pugh-Jones pick up some outs with the striaght draw, but the 6♦ river didn't improve him and Pugh-Jones was sent to the rail.
