Oren Rosen bet 600,000 from the small blind on a board of 6♥K♦8♥2♠ board and Jigesh Patel raised to 1,600,000 from the big blind. Rosen considered for a long time, stacking and restacking his chips, counting out the call, until eventually he sighed and tossed in the hero call.
Patel showed J♠7♣ for the failed bluff, and Rosen showed K♥5♣ for the naked pair of kings.
Jigesh Patel moved all in from the small blind on his next hand, and Christian Cheng called from the big. The news was about as bad as it could be for Patel.
Jigesh Patel: 9♣7♣
Christian Cheng: 9♠8♥
The news got worse on a J♣9♦8♠ flop and no help came on the 3♠ turn and A♠ river, and Patel's run of bad luck sent him out in 16th place.
