Khorchidian Gets it in Good, Lyubovetskiy Improves on Turn and River
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
On a flop of 8♥J♥10♣, Nichan Khorchidian had committed his stack of around 250,000 to the pot, and had been put at risk by Ukraine's Andriy Lyubovetskiy.
Nichan Khorchidian: Q♥10♥ 
Andriy Lyubovetskiy: A♥7♥
Both had flopped flush draws, but it was Khorchidian who held the lead with his pair of tens and was the favorite to double up. However, things took a turn for the worst for Khorchidian on the A♠ turn, as Lyubovetskiy improved to top pair. Only a king, queen, ten, or a nine could save Khorchidian, and despite improving to a flush on the 4♥ river, Lyubovetskiy's flush was bigger.
