Ollie Garland

Level 31 : 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

The pot stood at approximately 700,000 with two players looking at a board that read 10♥9♣3♥Q♦.

Alexander Van Der Swaluw, in the big blind, checked the action over to Mohammad Haidar, in the hijack. Haidar bet 200,000 and Van Der Swaluw check-raised to 750,000. Haidar called.

The 7♣ fell on the river and Van Der Swaluw moved all in for 3,170,000; more than enough to put Haidar to the test for his remaining 2,800,000. Haidar remained in the tank for some time before making the call.

Mohammad Haidar: K♦Q♠
Alexander Van Der Swaluw: K♠J♦

Haidar's top pair was way behind the king-high straight of Van Der Swaluw, sending him to the rail in 12th place.
