Rudy Cervantes raised to 20,000 from late position only to face a three-bet to 60,000 from Abdul Almagableh. Cervantes put in the call to see the flop come 9♦Q♥10♠.

Cervantes checked to Almagableh who continued with a bet of 60,000. Cervantes acted decisively in jamming for around 200,000 total and Almagableh quickly put in the call to set up a runout with Cervantes at risk.

Rudy Cervantes: 9♠9♣
Abdul Almagableh: A♥J♠

The 4♥ turn was safe for Cervantes' set of nines but the K♣ river completed the straight for Almagableh, sending Cervantes to the payout desk early in Day 2.
