Kazuhito Oshima opened from early position to 30,000 and change and action folded around to Keanu Tabali on the button, who mulled over his decision and eventually re-raised enough to put Oshima all in. The blind folded and Oshima committed the rest of his stack.

Oshima: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Tabali: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

Tabali stood up and put his hands on his head, obviously sweating the race. The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{J-Hearts} giving Tabali the best hand with a straight.

"F***!" Tabali exclaimed, thinking he had lost the hand.

His tablemates corrected him, letting him know he indeed won the pot.

"Thank god we only have 40 minutes left," Tabali playfully said, "I can't think straight."

Tabali is up to 180,000 following the hand.
