: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Action was picked up with roughly 42,000 in the pot, and the board showing J♦Q♥5♣ . Anthony Collurafici Jr was all in for 117,000, and Matthew Zambanini putting him at risk.

Matthew Zambanini: A♠K♣
Collurafici was able to out flop the ace-king of Zambanini, but would need to fade a ten or ace to double up. Once the board ran out 6♣ on the turn, and 5♦ on the river, the two pair queens and fives were best hand, to give Arora the pot.
