With the board showing Club KClub 4Heart 2Club 2 on the turn, Joe McKeehen checks the small blind, Paul Newey moves all in from the big blind, and McKeehen calls all in for roughly 45,000 with Heart KDiamond Q for two pair, kings and deuces.

Newey turns over Spade KClub Q for the same two pair, kings and deuces, but he is freerolling with a queen-high club flush draw.

The river card is — the Club 5.

Newey rivers a club flush to win the pot and eliminate McKeehen from Day 1A.

Paul Newey  –  290,000  (193 bb)
