Murthy Cracks Stefani's Aces
Level 3
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
There were already around 30,000 chips in the pot on a board of 8♦5♠3♦J♦ when Marios Stefani checked, and Neel Murthy fired 10,000. Stefani responded with an all-in wager, and Murthy snap-called.
Marios Stefani: A♦A♣ 
Neel Murthy: 9♦6♦
Murthy had a flush but Stefani had outs as another diamond on the river would give him a bigger flush. However, it wasn't to be for Stefani as the J♣ river meant he was eliminated.
"That's 1-1. He cracked my aces earlier, now I cracked his," said Murthy as he dragged the pot.
