Vivek Stuck in Neutral

Vivek Rajkumar was up until the wee hours of the morning completing his impressive run through the 128-player $10,000 Heads-Up Championship. He may have wished for a few extra hours of sleep before the start of today's tournament. Rajkumar, sitting with the button, called a preflop raise to 400 after one other player called as well. Both players checked to Rajkumar on a flop of {J-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}. Rajkumar made it 900 to go, folding the preflop raiser. The other player check-raised to 3,200; Rajkumar called.

Both players checked the {K-Spades} turn. When the river paired the board with the {4-Spades}, Rajkumar's opponent made it 3,000 to go. Rajkumar reluctantly called and was shown {J-Spades} {j-Clubs} for jacks full of fours. He mucked his hand and slipped in the counts to 8,500.
