With the board showing 7h2h2d4h on the turn and more than 400K already in the pot, Nigel Murray was all in on an earlier street.

The UTG+1 player checked, Nadya Magnus moved all in, and her opponent tanked for a long time until somebody called for a clock. Shortly after the countdown began, he folded.

Murray showed Qh10h for a queen-high flush, but Magnus turned over KhJh for a king-high flush. Murray was drawing dead.

The meaningless river card was the 10c, and Magnus won the pot with her higher flush to eliminate Murray in 135th place.
