Joe Ciffa turned the nut straight in a massive pot against Thomas Hawthorne, but it turned out he was already drawing dead. On a board of {3-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, the two players got it all in for a pot worth around 630,000. Ciffa showed {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}, but Hawthorne had the superior {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts} for a flush. Ciffa couldn't even draw to a straight flush as Hawthorne had it blocked with his {J-Hearts}. Ciffa hit the rail, and Hawthorne is our new leader.
