$436

Alex Quinones starts the hand with ~100k and sees a flop of K♣ 6♣ 2♣ with chip leader Bobby Sahgal.  Quinones bets 5k and Sahgal calls.

Turn: 9♣

Quinones bets 15k, Sahgal pots to 89k and Quinones is all in when he makes the call.

“Show me the Ace,” says Quinones, which Sahgal promptly does by tabling A♣ 2♣ for the nut flush.

Quinones shows Q♣ J♣, the second nut flush and is drawing to a one-out, straight flush draw. But when the wrong T is on the river Quinones is on the rail as the first player to cash in the WPT Regional Winter Tampa Bay Open.

Quinones is out in 9th place for $436, while Sahgal is up over 300k and has more than 1/3 of the chips in play.
