The Festival founder, Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk, takes no prisoners. He was all in and at risk on the flop of A Q 5 before the first discard phase. His opponent, Ralph Pittroff, discarded one and got the K face up. He declined and took another face down. Franke discarded one, but took the 6 . The players then showed down, and Franke had a six high straight in hand with 6 5 4 3 2 . He also had a gutshot on board.
Pittroff, who entered by mistake, had two pair in hand and a set on board with Q Q 9 9 10 . The 9 turn gave Franke a flush draw to boot, and he hit it on the 9 river to scoop the full pot.
