[user135779]

We've finally seen a result in the match between Ralph Burd and Sam Vakili!

After close to three hours of play, Burd moved the last of his money into the middle preflop with {q-Spades}

{q-Spades}

{q-Hearts}

and was in great shape against Vakili's {a-Diamonds}

{a-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

.

However Vakili managed to hit on the board of {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{a-Spades}

{j-Hearts}

{6-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

and take the first game - much to the relief of both players!
