After raising it up to 2,400, "Boston" Rob Mariano went to a flop of A♥3♦8♥ along with 3 other players. The action then checked to him and he continued for another 2,400 which resulted in two folds but then the big blind check-raised all in for 13,000.
Mariano quickly made the call to put his opponent at risk and the cards were tabled.
Big Blind: K♥7♥
Rob Mariano: A♣Q♥
Mariano had the upper hand with his top pair of aces but still needed to fade any heart for a flush. Luckily for him, the board ran out 7♣2♦ for his pair to hold and he was awarded the pot while his opponent tapped the table and headed to the exit.
