A large pot was brewing between Robert Hankins from the hijack and the player in the cutoff.
With the board reading Q♦8♥6♣A♦, Hankins led into the cutoff who called.
With over 100,000 in the middle, the two went heads-up to a 7♦ river. Hankins led all-in for 69,000 which sent the cutoff into the tank. After around a minute, he put in the call and the hands were tabled.
Robert Hankins: 9♦5♦ 
Cutoff: 6♠6♥
The cutoff had slow-played a flopped set while Hankins went runner-runner to make a flush and drag a massive pot.
