The flop was down 
, and Gytis Lazauninkas had checked from early position to Waheed Ashraf on the button, who bet 225,000. Ashraf had about 1.3m behind him and Lazauninkas, who had him covered, moved all in. Ashraf needed a minute to think before he decided to call.
Waheed Ashraf: 
Gytis Lazauninkas: 
Lazauninkas had a commanding lead with his overpair to the board, and Ashraf needed help, which is exactly what he got on the turn when the dealer flipped over the 
to give him two pair. But his lead lasted a matter of milliseconds when the river card was revealed to be the 
to give Lazauninkas a surprise set and a lock on the pot to eliminate Ashraf.
