Sebastian Cracks Nahas' Kings

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Action was on the flop on a board of 4?3?10? and the table was erupting as two players stacked off.

Antoine Nahas: K?K? All in
Sebastian Remy: 8?8?

Nahas was well ahead with pocket kings, but Remy had a backdoor flush draw to go along with his smaller pair. The turn came the 2? and the river the 9? to complete the flush and Remy won the hand, cracking Nahas' kings and sending him to the rail.
