After some back-and-forth preflop, James Grimes and Daniel Doan got it all in, with the latter covering. 

Grimes flipped over Q♥Q♦ and would need to fade the A♠K♣ of Doan, but a king appeared on the fop of 6♦J♥K♦ to give Doan a big lead. 

"Diamond on the turn for a sweat!" Tablemate Blake Barrouse chimed in, and sure enough,the 4♦ appeared on the turn to give Grimes a flush draw, but the river bricked with the T♠ to send him to the rail. 

Doan - 210,000  
Grimes - 0
