Michael Harrington thought he flopped a monster. He held {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

on a flop that came down {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{8-Spades}

. Harrington had top pair and the second-nut flush draw and moved his chips into the middle after his lone opponent, Martin Rowe, checked. It was actually Rowe who had flopped the monster. He snap-called Harrington's bet and tabled the nuts {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{9-Spades}

, leaving Harrington drawing at a runner-runner full house. He didn't get there. The {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

hit the turn. Harrington was drawing dead and was eliminated on the river {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

.

Tough luck for Harrington, but at least his 35th-place finish earned him AU$9,800.
