Level 27 : 60,000/120,000, 0 ante

With about 400,000 already in the middle and the board reading {9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, James Calderaro bet 200,000 from the big blind into his lone opponent, Artem Babakhanyan, who was under the gun. Babakhanyan moved all in for 715,000, and after a few moments of thought, Calderaro called to put Babakhanyan at risk.

Calderaro: {K-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Babakhanyan: {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

Both players held straights, but Babakhanyan had the best of it with the ten-high straight against Calderaro's eight-high straight. The {8-Diamonds} river changed nothing, and Babakhanyan took the pot to double up.
