After a flop of Qc10c3d, David MacDonald checked from the big blind, Johnathan Norris bet 1,000,000, and MacDonald check-raised all in for about 2,850,000.

Norris called with Ks10s for a pair of tens, but MacDonald turned over Qs10h for top two pair, queens and tens. MacDonald was a huge favorite to double up here.

But the turn card was the 5d, and the river card was — the Kh. Norris spiked a higher two pair on the river to win the pot with kings and tens, eliminating MacDonald in seventh place.
