Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

According to players at the table, three players including Sean Balfour had gotten all their chips in the pot on a flop of {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-}. The hands were revealed.

Opponent 1: {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Opponent 2: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Sean Balfour: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

A very attractive flop had shown up for Balfour, and although one opponent was drawing very slim, needing running aces or straight flush cards, he still had to fade a jack from his other opponent. The board ran out {q-} {3-} and Balfour scooped up the pot as two players were gone, leading Balfour to express his wishes of it being a knockout tournament.
