Level 8 : 2,000/4,000, 3,000 ante

At one table, Andy Leathem and Sean Winter were heads-up on a flop reading {10-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Both players checked and the {q-Hearts} hit the turn. Leathem led out for 17,000 into a pot of around 45,000 from the small blind. Winter made the call on the button and the {a-Hearts} put four hearts on the board. Leathem fired another 26,000 and Winter laid his hand down.

Next table over, Justin Bonomo opened to 9,000 from the cutoff and was called by Jake Schindler on the button. Keith Tilston was in the small blind and pushed all in for 64,000. Erik Seidel folded the big blind and the action was back on Bonomo. He re-shoved all in over the top and Schindler thought for a moment before mucking his cards.

Justin Bonomo: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Keith Tilston: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Bonomo was in a dominating position but when the flop fell {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, it was Tilston who paired his king to take the lead. Bonomo did have the only heart in his hand but the {4-Spades} on the turn was of no use. However, the {5-Hearts} landed on the river and Bonomo four-flushed to eliminated Tilston.
