Charles Chattha raised all-in over the top from the big blind for 730,000 after small blind Sam Grafton's opening bet and Grafton called it off.

Sam Grafton: {J-Spades}{8-Spades}
Charles Chattha: {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

The flop of {J-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds} put Chattha behind and after the {5-Spades} turn gave the man at risk a little more hope, the {Q-Spades} sent Chattha home.
