The flop showed {8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Clubs} and two players were battling in a heads-up pot. Shankar Pillai bet 10,000 from out of position. On his left, his opponent raised to 30,000.

Back on Pillai, he moved all in for about 100,000 effective and his opponent called.

Opponent: {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Shankar Pillai: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

Pillai had the over pair, but his opponent had flopped two pair. The {j-Diamonds} changed nothing, but the {5-Clubs} gave Pillai the better two pair to send his opponent to the rail.
