Graeme Putt is near the top of the leaderboard after eliminating an opponent. We caught the action on the turn, where the board was showing {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{3-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

. Putt checked to his opponent, who bet 1,800. That brought a check-raise from Putt to 6,800, and a third raise all in from Putt's opponent. Putt quickly called. "I thought we were playing Manila," said Putt. "Ten-jack."

Putt did indeed show {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

for a turned straight; his opponent showed {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{K-Clubs}

for top set and did not fill up on the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

river. He hit the rail, and Putt hit the top of the leaderboard
