Omar Diaz limped in under the gun, as did the player next to act, and Mukul Pahuja raised to 5,200 in middle position. From the big blind, Steve Karp three-bet shoved for 15,300 total. Diaz four-bet to 33,000 total in response, and the player behind him quickly folded. Pahuja moved all in with the big stack, though, and Diaz called all in for 62,100 total, putting himself at risk along with Karp.

Diaz: QdQh
Pahuja: AhKh
Karp: AdKs

The Ac8h2d flop left Diaz in bad shape with two to come, and the 3h on the turn was a blank. The Qs river was not, however, and it gave Diaz the big pot with a set of queens. Karp was eliminated, and Pahuja was left relatively short after paying off Diaz’s big double.

Omar Diaz – 143,100 (119 bb)
Mukul Pahuja – 19,000 (16 bb)
Steve Karp – Eliminated
