Luke Brereton:
Yordan Petrov:
Both players had flopped the nuts, but it was Brereton who improved to a flush on the river to take all the chips and eliminate Petrov. It was another great run for Petrov, however, who secures his second WSOP cash in as many days after he finished in 56th place for $4,602 in Event #13.
