Entries: 7/2045

Nikolaos Konstas raised big from the button, and short-stacked Antonio Alba pushed his remaining chips in the middle from the big blind. Konstas quickly called.

• Antonio Alba: K♦Q♥
• Nikolaos Konstas: 9♦9♣

With a 9♥ in the window, Alba began packing his things, not noticing the other two cards were hearts—6♥5♥! The turn brought another heart, K♥, completing Alba’s flush, though he still didn’t realize it and continued packing. The river J♥ sealed the hand without pairing the board.

For the second time at the final table, Alba survives by hitting a one-card flush!

Antonio Alba – 4,500,000
Nikolaos Konstas – 21,000,000
