Anderson's Stack Starting to Grow, Farha's Stack Falling
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Action was picked up on the flop, which was four-ways, with 32,000 in the pot, on a 2♥8♠J♦ board.
The player in the big blind led out for 34,000. Sammy Farha, in early position, mulled over his decision before finding a fold. Calvin Anderson, in middle position, then raised to put the player on the button all in for 55,500. The button folded, and we were heads up, with the big blind at risk.
Big Blind: A♣K♠J♠4♣3♣ 
Calvin Anderson: A♦K♥10♥3♥2♦
It was the big blind ahead with top pair and top kicker, but when the 10♣ came on the turn, it improved Anderson's two pair. The river 5♠ locked up the high for Anderson with two pair, 10s, and deuces, while the players chopped up the low with ace-three.
