Chris Brewer: K♠K♥ 
Sorel Mizzi: Q♦9♦
Brewer showed down a pair of kings, but Mizzi had outflopped him with two pair as Brewer was left one card away from elimination near the money bubble as the 4♣ fell on the turn. The river was the A♠ and Brewer made a higher two pair to win the pot and double up, leaving Mizzi nursing a short stack.
