Adam Hendrix completed the small blind to 100,000, and Darren Elias checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came As4s2d, Hendrix checked, Elias bet 150,000, and Hendrix called.

The turn card was the 9d, Hendrix checked, Elias bet 525,000, and Hendrix check-raised all in for about 2.1 million.

Elias called with 5c3h for the nuts — a five-high straight. Hendrix turned over Ad10h for a pair of aces, and he was drawing dead.
