Small Blind: AcAs

The aces were ahead but Taylor made his club flush on the 5c turn to take the lead. The small blind player needed another club on the river to come back but the Qd river sent him out.

Askey: Ks5s

It wasn’t as bad as it first appeared but Askey hit his spade draw immediately on the Ts turn to lock up the pot before the Qs river.
