It was a wild final hand that saw Francis Fan end his run in 2nd place tonight. All the money was in before the flop when Fan shoved with J♥9♥ but ran into pocket queens for Mike Malm. A♣A♠10♥5♦
What should have been an easy win for the queens turned into a rollercoaster when Fan flopped open-ended with a flush draw on 6♥10♥8♦. Fan hit his straight on the Q♠ river while it gave Malm the set. The 8♣ river flipped the script again to give Malm the winning riverboat.
