Melad Marji raised from the button to 125,000, Isaac Kempton reraised from the small blind to 425,000 (leaving himself just 125K behind), and Marji tanked for a while before he called.

As the dealer pulled in the preflop bets, Kempton looked at Marji and said, “Good luck.”

The flop came Jc10s8d, Kempton quickly moved all in for 125,000, and Marji called.

Melad Marji:  QhJd9h6c  (queen-high straight)
Isaac Kempton:  KdKc10h2h  (pair of kings)

The turn card was the 6h, the river card was the 5c, and Marji won the pot with his straight to eliminate Kempton in fourth place.
