Victor Akuloff:
Blake Bohn: 
Akuloff was racing for his tournament life and the 
flop gave him the nut flush draw, but also gave Bohn top set.

There was three-way all in action preflop between Justin Thurlow from late position, the hijack and Shane Maki called from the button having both players covered.
Hijack: 
Justin Thurlow: 
Shane Maki: 
Thurlow was behind holding the worst made hand until the 
flop hit the felt giving him a set of tens.
Neither the 
turn nor the 
river changed a thing as Thurlow collected a 400,000 double-up from Maki and eliminated his other opponent.
