Out of the blue, all of the money went into the middle and it's all over. From the button, Tim West raised to 62,000. Ali Eslami thought for a little bit before reraising to 138,000. West moved all in for around one million and Eslami made the call.

Eslami tabled the {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} to have West's {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} in a world of hurt. West was the player with the shorter stack and he would need a lot of help in order to survive this one and double up.

The flop came down {8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades} and didn't do any good for West. He was now looking for runner-runner queens as his only hope to win the hand and double up. The turn brought the {J-Clubs} and it was paint, but not the paint West needed to still have a sweat. He was drawing dead and the player dealt the river the {7-Clubs} to officially end things.

West didn't go home empty handed, as he'll take home $174,443 for his runner-up finish. Just a few days ago, West won the Wynn Poker Classic in Las Vegas for $318,738. That puts his career winnings for the last week at nearly $500,000, which isn't too shabby at all.
