Gerard Rubiralta raised to 22,000 from under the gun, Fahredin Mustafov called in the hijack, as did Hassan Nashar, in the big blind.

Gerard Rubiralta: K♠J♣ All in
Hassan Nashar: 8♠3♠

Nashar had flopped a flush to best Rubiralta's pair of jacks, but Rubiralta retained the nut flush draw. However, the A♦ turn and 8♦ river changed nothing and Rubiralta was sent to the rail.
