but found himself up against the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Clubs}

of Omer Silajdzija.

The flop favoured Silajdzija as it arrived {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{10-Hearts}

{5-Spades}

giving him top pair, but the {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

on the turn gave Goonawardana a Broadway straight. The river bricked the {5-Diamonds}
