After a preflop betting war, all of the chips between Rakan Abusaleh, Youn Noh, and Derek Normand got into the middle, with Normand covering. 

Abusaleh: A♦4♦  
Noh: 8♣8♠  
Normand: A♠Q♠

The flop of K♣8♦6♥ gave Noh a huge lead with a set of eights, but the runout of J♦T♦ gave Abusaleh the runner-runner nut flush to scoop. 

Abusaleh - 1,050,000  
Normand - 450,000  
Noh - 0
