Blake Cahail and Peter 'Nordberg' Feldman exchanged preflop raises until Cahail found himself all in for approximately 410,000. Much to the amazement of the nearby rail, Feldman made the call holding {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} but it turned out to be a great one, as Cahail could only produce {J-Clubs} {10-Hearts}.

Feldman held on to the lead through the turn as the board filled out {2-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {6-Hearts}, but the {9-Hearts} fell on river giving Cahail a heart flush. A subtle fist pump was Cahail's only reaction to the river card, which gave him new life with just under one million in chips. The hand left Feldman with right around 600,000 and likely, a very sour taste in his mouth.
