Dan O'Hair

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Heads-up on a board of 8♠2♣K♣J♠ with over a million in the pot arleady, Kyosuke Nagami check-called a 540,000 bet from Kavin Shah.

The 5♣ completed the board and Nagami shoved for approximately two million, which was enough to put Shah all in for slightly less.

"Set no good?" Shah inquired as he weighed his decision. Nagami remained silent.

Shah eventually put in a call and Nagami turned over A♣J♣ for the nut flush.

Shah showed he held 8♣8♥ for a set of eights — eliminating him late in the evening.
