Boom

Erik Hellman booms a knockout.
Erik Hellman booms a knockout.

We heard that there was an all in at the secondary feature table, and when we sprinted over, there was also a call. From our limited view, we could see that the board was {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, Erik Hellman had {10-}{8-}, and according to the announcer, Michael Gable had a diamond draw.

The turn and river bricked {5-Clubs}, {9-Clubs}, respectively, and Gable was eliminated.

Hellman shot out of his chair when the river card hit the felt, screaming, "BOOOOOOOM!!! BOOOOOOOOM!!!"

It was a big boom for Hellman, who appears to have over 5 million chips.
