Simon Wilson: K♣Q♠ 
Paul Runcan: 8♦8♣
Runcan needed to win this flip if he was to claim Wilson's bounty. The flop of J♠5♠10♣ offered up a straight draw to Wilson, the 10♦ turn game Wilson even more outs to win. He hit one of those outs on the 9♦ river, improving to a straight and doubling up through Runcan.
