Kevin McColgan (Philadelphia, PA) was just eliminated in a really tough spot on the river, and updated his followers on Twitter about it:

Made K high flush on river vs A high flush in 2mill+ pot out 12th
— Kevin McColgan (@Bukowski101) August 18, 2014

The board would read Q♠ A♥ 3♥ J♠ 2♠, and after Kevin raised Ketan Pandya river bet to 400,000, Pandya answered with a three-bet shove.  Kevin had to make sure that Pandya actually said "all-in," and looked over while announcing a call.  Pandya would turn over A♠ 10♠ against Kevin's K♠ 5♠.  Pandya is over 3,000,000 after winning the massive pot.
