Gregg Merkow limped the small blind and saw Igor Ioffe bet 3,600,000 in the big blind. Merkow called.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Merkow checked in flow and Ioffe continued for pot, an 8,400,000 chip bet.

"I've got a big decision," said Merkow, while he thought. Ioffe didn't have much behind. "All in," announced Merkow. Ioffe called, and the two shorter stacks were off to an important runout.

"I don't have an ace,"said Ioffe.

"Inside straight draw," said Merkow.

Igor Ioffe: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Gregg Merkow: {q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

"What do we need, Gregg?" shouted the rail.

"A two, three, or four!" said Merkow.

The turn wasn't any of those cards when the {8-} hit. The river, however, was the straight-completing {2-Clubs} to give Merkow the straight and send Ioffe home in third place.
