Kevin Schaffel raises from the button to 200,000, and Toto Leonidas moves all in from the big blind for 1,240,000. Schaffel quickly calls with AspadeJheart, and Leonidas shows Adiamond5diamond.

The flop comes Jdiamond9diamond8spade, and Schaffel pairs his jack while Leonidas picks up a flush draw.

The turn card is the Kdiamond, and Toto Leonidas clinches the victory with a diamond flush. (The meaningless river card is the Jspade, but trip jacks aren't enough to save Schaffel.)
