In Level 8 with blinds of 800/1,600 and an ante of 200, stacks got in preflop between "MortySmith" in early position and "upayformypennys" in the big blind.

"upayformypennys":
"MortySmith":

Both players hit the flop as it appeared . "upayformypennys" had flopped a set, but was still sweating a nut flush draw as well as potential backdoor Broadway or full house outs. The turn was safe, but the river gave "MortySmith" the nuts and earned them the knockout to take their stack over six figures.

"upayformypennys" wasted no time re-entering, and received a fresh stack of 30,000 on a new table.
