After a flop of Spade QDiamond 8Diamond 5, Loni Hui checks from the big blind, and the UTG player bets 40,000. Paul Gunness moves all in from the hijack for about 500,000, Hui thinks for a while before she calls all in for 124,000, and the UTG player calls all in for about 142,000.

Paul Gunness:  Heart QHeart 8  (two pair, queens and eights)
UTG Player:  Spade KDiamond K  (pair of kings)
Loni Hui:  Diamond ADiamond Q  (pair of queens, flush draw)

The turn card is the Diamond 10, the river card is the Club 3, and Hui wins the main pot worth about 410,000 with an ace-high diamond flush to triple up in chips.

Gunness wins the much smaller side pot worth 18,000 with his two pair to eliminate the UTG player from the tournament.

Loni Hui  –  410,000  (103 bb)
Paul Gunness  –  390,000  (98 bb)
