Wickert Hits a Flush to Crack Maudlin's Aces
Level 25
: 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
David Maudlin, playing from early position, and Anthony Wickert, playing from the big blind, got all their chips into the middle preflop with Maudlin the at-risk player.
But Maudlin held pocket aces and was in good shape against Wickert's 
.
The 
flop was safe for Maudlin. However, the turn 
, gave Wickert additional outs to the flush. And in brutal fashion, the 
river card hit for Wickert and Maudlin saw his pocket aces defeated.
Once the counts were confirmed Maudlin was sent to the rail in 34th place for ￡4,800, and Wickert stacked his new chips worth 31m.
