According to players at the table, Najeem Ajez recently eliminated a player before this hand, making the nut flush to take a massive pot.
In this hand, action was on the flop of 
and Paul Rochford was first to act. He put out a bet of 3,500. Ajez was on the button and he raised, making it 8,200. Rochford thought it over for a bit, then called.
The turn was the 
and both players checked. They checked again on the 
river. Rochford showed down his 
for top pair top kicker, but Ajez was holding 
for a flopped set. That allowed him to take down the pot as Rochford's pair was no good.
With that pot and the one before, Ajez is now up to nearly 75,000 and is off to a hot start here in the Main Event.
