Kareem Halabi: 2♣2♠ 
Paul Covaciu: K♥10♣
Halabi was in a race with deuces against the overcards of Covaciu. The flop of 2♦4♠Q♥ came down to give Halabi a set, and meant Covaciu needed running cards. A J♦ hit the turn, giving Covaciu a straight draw, and the A♣ completed his straight, sending Halabi to the rail.
