The turn card is the Heart 6, and both players check. The river card is the Club K, Patel checks, Diaz bets 28,000, and Patel check-raises all in.

Diaz calls all in for about 100,000, and Patel turns over Heart 5Club 5 for a set of fives. Diaz mucks as he is eliminated from the tournament, but since it’s an all-in situation the dealer has to reveal Diaz’s cards — Diamond KSpade J for two pair, kings and jacks. Patel wins the pot to become the first player to reach 300,000 in chips.
