Najjar: {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{7-Clubs}

Opponent:

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Clubs}

In a typical race situation, the flop of {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{10-Hearts}

would thrust Najjar's opponent into the lead.

The turn would land the {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

to see Najjar now drawing to only a chop, but when the river fell the {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

, Najjar headed to the rail.
