Legendary World Poker Tour commentator Mike Sexton was no longer in his seat, and tablemate Ronni Borg had no problem retelling the tale.
Two players limped, as did Sexton in the cutoff, and each of them made the call when Sweden's Johannes Korsar squeezed the button. The flop came down , and when checked to, Korsar fired another bullet. Sexton raised it up, Korsar moved in and the American quickly called having flopped the flush with .
Korsar was holding and looked for a spade to make him the better flush, and it came already on the turn. The river was yet another spade, and Korsar dragged the pot while Sexton hit the rail.
In other news two High Roller participants have hit the rail: Jason Wheeler and Stuart Fox.

The river came , and when Ajayi checked his option, Simpson cut out 205,000 chips and slid them over the line.

Simpson revealed for the nut flush, but that was peanuts compared to the of Amirzahari that completed a straight flush on the river.

When we went over to check on partypoker ambassador Tony Dunst's progress, it was a noticeably improved stack of 1.55m, quick work given he sat down with a million chips at kick off.
"He's won every pot. Just put 74 million." said the man sat to Dunst's direct right, John Conroy.
Dunst is not the only big name cruising along. Steve Watts and Jamie Roberts are both ahead in the game.

With a starting stack of one million and blinds at a mere 3,000/6,000, there's nothing but room to for exciting poker hands and interesting lines of play. I mean, how often do you actually get to see a casual six-bet/fold preflop?
That just happened on one of the outer tables, as Jonathan Bowers and Christian Nilles got into quite the raising war. Bowers raided it op from the button, Nilles made it 40,000 to go out of the small blind, Jonathan Concepcion surrendered his big blind before Bowers came back over the top for 125,000.
Nilles wasn't going anywhere and put in another raise - this time to 215,000 - only to face yet another reraise to a total of 380,000, that sent the German player into the tank for quite some time.
"Sorry guys", he told the table after a few minutes of deliberation, and took another minute or so before announcing all-in for 1,3 million chips effectively.
Jonathan Bowers made a grimace of defeat before letting his hand go, and a clearly relieved Nilles dragged in the pot.
"I didn't have aces", Bowers said afterward.
"I had at least one trey", Bowers replied with a wry smile.
