Ari Engel

Ari Engel raised from middle position to 45,000, and Michael Hayes called from the big blind.

The flop came Kd10h2s, Hayes moved all in for 175,000, and Engel thought for a while before he called with QsJc for an open-ended straight draw.

Hayes turned over Qc10d for a pair of tens, and he needed it to hold to stay alive.

The turn card was the Ac, the river card was the 9d, and Engel turned an ace-high straight to win the pot and eliminate Hayes in 123rd place.
