Fernando Santiago: A♥K♣
Opponent: A♦J♥
Santiago had a healthy lead going into the runout, and the flop did not give either player much to work with as it came Q♦4♣8♠.
Santiago paired up on the K♥ turn, but his opponent improved to a straight draw going to the river.
The 2♦ river was a blank to award Santiago the pot.
