This one’s a heartbreaker. David McConachie is all in, and Mike Zhang goes into the tank awhile, having him more than covered. He calls with {Ac}{Kc} and David has {Ah}{As}.
The board runs out {Jd}{Js}{8c}{2c}{10c} and the runner-runner-runner clubs gives Zhang the nut flush and sends David out in 11th. We’re now redrawing for the unofficial final table of 10.
