Just the Second-Best Nuts

Level 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

With approximately 300,000 already in the pot, the action unfolded on a flop of 10K7, where all four players opted to check.

As the 3 hit the turn, the decision fell to Lishai Heshbon, who seized the moment to bet 235,000. Marcos De Oliveira, sitting right next to him, took his time deliberating but ultimately decided to go all in. The other two players quickly folded, leaving Heshbon to make a swift call.

When the cards were revealed, Heshbon showed AQ, holding the nut flush, while De Oliveira was visibly shocked as he called over a friend from a nearby table before showing his hand of J10, which represented the second nuts. Realizing this hand marked the end of his tournament run. Meanwhile, Heshbon's victory not only eliminated an opponent but also boosted his stack to over 2,000,000, solidifying his strong position in the game.
