: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Imad Derwiche checked from under the gun on a flop of 5♦A♣K♦. Daniel Zaremba then added 13,000 to a pot of 18,000, which Derwiche raised to 30,000.
Zaremba tossed in a call and the J♥ hit the turn. Zaremba's 111,000 remaining chips quickly flew in as the players revealed their cards.
Daniel Zaremba: Q♠10♥J♣7♦ 
Imad Derwiche: A♠K♠4♠3♦
Zaremba had turned the nut straight. The board did not pair on the 8♠ river, leaving Derwiche with an inferior two pair as he paid Zaremba his double-up.
