Aquil Salahudeen opened the cutoff and was called by the button.
On the 6♦4♣2♦ flop, Salahudeen would continue for 7,000 and his opponent weighed his options for some time before he elected to call.
The turn was the 5♠ which saw the big blind lead for 23,000 and Salahudeen put in the call.
On the 4♠ river, the big blind announced all-in for just over 50,000 and Salahudeen beat him into the pot.
Big Blind: A♣8♦ 
Aquil Salahudeen: K♠K♦
The big blind was bluffing and Salahudeen made the correct call with his overpair on a dangerous board to drag a huge one.
