Kevin Schaffel Eliminated by Luis Vazquez
Luis Vazquez raised from the button to 8K preflop and Kevin Schaffel reraised from the big blind to 24K. Vazquez made the call and the flop came [Ks][7c][6s].
Schaffel led out for 40K and Vazquez moved all in. Schaffel immediately made the call and they turned over:
Schaffel [Ac][Kc]
Vazquez [Kh][3s]
Vazquez announced "Nice hand" and started to count out his chip to send Schaffel's way as the turn came out the [Js].
It wasn't until about four second after the [5s] hit the river did anyone at the table realize that Vazquez had hit a flush to take the pot.
Schaffel, who is serving as host of the Mega Stack Challenge, shook Vazquez's hand and presented him with a hat and shirt before leaving the tournament area.
