Victor Akuloff:
Blake Bohn: 
Akuloff was racing for his tournament life and the 
flop gave him the nut flush draw, but also gave Bohn top set.

river were bricks ending his tournament.

There was three-way all in action preflop between Justin Thurlow from late position, the hijack and Shane Maki called from the button having both players covered.
Hijack: 
Justin Thurlow: 
Shane Maki: 
Thurlow was behind holding the worst made hand until the 
flop hit the felt giving him a set of tens.
Neither the 
turn nor the 
river changed a thing as Thurlow collected a 400,000 double-up from Maki and eliminated his other opponent.
