Vlaic Backdoors a Flush to Crack Pipine's Flopped Set, Persent Eliminated
Level 20
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Jon Persent was already all-in preflop and Edgaras Pipine & Iuliu Vlaic were involved with the pot having around 200,000 chips already in it.
On the A?7?10? flop, Edgaras Pipine bet 71,000 into the dry side pot and Iuliu Vlaic shoved for 180,000. Pipine snap-called. .
Jon Persent: Q?Q? 
Iuliu Vlaic: A?K?
Edgaras Pipine: 10?10?
Pipine was a huge favorite to eliminate two players and send his stack flying up the leaderboard, but a 4? on the turn made things interesting as Vlaic picked up a flush draw.
"Club," said Vlaic.
"Queen," said Persent.
Well, both of their wishes came true as the Q? dropped on the river, which gave Vlaic the nut flush and a lock on the hand. Persent was eliminated, and Pipine was left with around 150,000 in his stack.
