Bradley Carter raised on the button and Nickolas Herbrig made the call in the small blind. The flop came out with Q?4?Q?. Herbrig checked, Carter bet and Herbrig called.
The turn brought a seemingly innocent 7? and Herbrig check-raised this time and Carter made the call.
On the J? river Herbrig bet and Carter called. Herbrig showed the 10?7? for the flush and Carter stood up and exclaimed, "I knew you had the flush!" and mucked.

Hand 1:
Heads up on a turn reading 10?A?7?4?, James Eng placed a bet and was called by Michael Coombs.
They saw a river 5? and Eng bet again, which Coombs called. Eng tabled A?7? and Coombs launched his hand in the much, leaving him with a short stack.
Hand 2:
Coombs took the blinds once and just one shuffle later was facing a raise from Ryan Johnson in early position. Coombs responded with a reraise and Johnson put the rest of his short stack in the middle. Coombs just barely had him covered and made the call.
Ryan Johnson: A?10?
Michael Coombs: J?J?
The board ran out Q?8?J?10?6? and Coombs found himself with a workable stack just before going to hand for hand.
