There was 32,000 in the pot, and the board read Jd 10d 7h 6c when Yuriy Kozinskiy got all in for 36,000 from the hijack. The cutoff called to cover him so the two players flipped over their cards.

Kozinsky held 6d5d, and his opponent held AsJc. The river delivered the Kd, and Kozinsky doubled up to survive with 104,000 after collecting the pot thanks to a flush on the river.
