David Balkin raised to 225,000 from middle position and was called by Gaelle Baumann from the cutoff and Erik Hellman from the big blind. The flop came down 
and Hellman checked. Balkin fired 425,000 and Baumann called. Hellman got out of the way and the two were heads up to the turn.
The dealer flipped up a 
on the turn and Balkin pushed 1,000,000 into the middle. Baumann tanked before calling. The 
rivered and Balkin moved all in. Baumann snap called and Balkin turned up 
for a set of tens.
Baumann showed 
and Balkin started celebrating, thinking Baumann merely had a pair of aces, not realizing that she had the nut flush. Baumann was able to scoop the pot, however, and she's now sitting atop 4,250,000 in chips while Balkin has been crippled to around 1,100,000.
