Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

Aliaksei Boika was seen departing from Table #441 in Amazon Purple, in what was described as "the craziest hand I've ever seen" by one player at the table.

Boika held {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, Steven Highfill held {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}, and Eric Kurtzman held {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}.

With board down {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{9-}{q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, all the money went into the middle on the river.

Highfill had the ace-high flush, and Boika a full house, but neither player could beat Kurtzman who had a straight flush.

Kurtzman had Boika covered, and Highfill survived but was left with just 3,000 to spin up with Kurtzman moving up to a massive 230,000.
