Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Derek Atson raised to 75,000 from the cutoff, and the big blind Cleiton Junior-Barbosa made the call.

The flop came 3♣Q♦4♦ and Atson bet all in, which was called by Junior-Barbosa to put Atson at risk.

Derek Atson: K♦J♦ All in
Cleiton Junior-Barbosa: K♠Q♠

Junior-Barbosa had the best hand with his pair of queens but would have to fade the flush draw of Atson. The 9♥ on the turn was a safe one, but when 5♦ hit the river, Atson improved to a flush, to secure the double up.
