Leo Worthington-Leese opened from middle position and Alexandre Landron defended out of the big blind.
The flop of 10♥9♥6♣ checked through and Landron check-called a bet from Worthington-Leese on the J♦ turn. Landron checked again on the J♥ river and Worthington-Leese bet. Landron check-jammed and Worthington-Leese called with a bigger stack.
Landron showed A♥Q♥ for an ace-high flush, but it was no good against the J♠9♠ of his opponent for a full house to send Landron to the rail in devastating fashion.
"This game is beautiful sometimes — for one of the players!" laughed Ori Hasson.
