Will Kassouf: 9♠5♠

Badr Douch: 10♦9♦
Will Kassouf: Q♠Q♥
Cameron Couch: K♠J♠
Douch had two pair, Kassouf a set, but Couch had flopped the world with the nut straight and flush redraw. Kassouf shouted out for a queen or ten, his outs for a full house, but the turn was the J♣and river the 3♦.
"So sick, wow!", said Kassouf.
Couch held with his straight to win the pot, nearly tripling his stack and eliminating both Douch and Kassouf from the tournament.
