With the board showing Diamond JClub 10Spade 6Diamond 2 on the turn, James Pillon moves all in from the big blind for about 16,800. A player calls from middle position, and Blair Hinkle moves all in over the top from the cutoff for about 65,000.

The middle-position player thinks for a while before he folds.

Pillon turns over Diamond KDiamond 7 for a diamond flush draw, and he needs to improve to stay alive against Hinkle’s Heart JClub J (set of jacks).

The river card is the Heart A, and Hinkle wins the pot with his set of jacks to eliminate Pillon.

Blair Hinkle  –  130,000  (81 bb)
James Pillon  –  Eliminated
