Enrique Leigue moved all in for 44,500 in the hijack and the small blind called. Jon Pardy leaned back in his chair and let out a sigh before he reshoved for 218,000.

Enrique Leigue: K?J?
Jon Pardy: 10?10?
The flop came 9?6?3? to give Leiger a flush draw to go with his two over cards. "It's sweaty," Pardy said as he and a few other players around the table began filming the action.
