Level 14
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Jans Arends raised to 400,000 from under the gun, leaving himself 135,000 behind the line. Andrew Lichtenberger made the call from the small blind.
The 4♣8♠8♥ flop saw Lichtenberger put Arends all in for his last 135,000 and Arends made the call.
Jans Arends: A♣6♣ 
Andrew Lichtenberger: A♥8♦
Lichtenberger had flopped trips and Arends was in bad shape, however, the 3♣ turn and 2♣ river improved Arends to an unlikely flush and Arends found a full double.
