Darryll Fish and Vivek Rajkumar were heads up in a raised pot. Each player put about 16,000 into the pot before a flop of {A-Clubs} {J-Spades} {9-Clubs}. On that flop, Fish put out a bet of 24,600. Rajkumar made the call, and the turn card fell the {10-Spades}. Fish checked this time, and Vivek made his move, shoving all 46,000 of his remaining chips into the middle. After just a quick trip to the think tank, Fish made the call to put Rajkumar at risk.

Showdown
Fish: {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds}
Rajkumar: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}

Rajkumar was behind, but he had plenty of live outs. Any king, queen, or eight was a help card, but the river would provide no salvation. The blank {4-Clubs} peeled off the deck, locking up a gigantic pot for Fish. Failing to catch any help, Vivek Rajkumar has been sent to the rail.

Fish, on the other hand, is quite healthy now, possibly leading the field with 195,000.
