Justin Thurlow was in the cutoff and opened to 100,000. Acton folded to Saad Ghanem, who defended his big blind and the two saw the flop come . Ghanem check-called a continuation-bet from Thurlow for 110,000 and the turn came , where action went check-check.

Ghanem fired out 200,000 on the river and Thurlow thought for about 40 seconds before making the call.

"King high," said Ghanem. Thurlow immediately tabled for a rivered two pair, queens and fours, and Ghanem sent his hand to the muck.
