The under-the-gun player limped for 2,000, Roni Zelichonok limped from UTG+1, and Sheldon Kahrim raised from the button to 8,000. The UTG player limp-shoved all in for 62,500, and Zelichonok folded.

Kahrim asked for an exact count and thought for a while before he called with AhQs.

The UTG player turned over 3d3c, needing his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came KhJd4cKd10d, and Kharim rivered an ace-high straight to win the pot and eliminate his opponent from Flight A.
