You're Fayad

Ghassan Fayad was not happy, he'd wanted to bet on an {A-Spades}{9-Clubs}{K-Hearts} flop but the dealer had thought the action had been checked around and put out a {4-Clubs} on the turn.

Fayad protested that he hadn't checked and tournament director Matt Savage came over and ruled that Fayad could bet, the {4-Clubs} would be shuffled back into the deck and could be potential river card. Fayad bet 3,250 and his opponent Shamil Malaev flat-called.

The {4-Clubs} was left exposed and instead the {6-Clubs} came out on the turn, Fayad bet 6,000 and Malaev again made the call. Now the {4-Clubs} was shuffled back into the deck but the river was the {10-Spades}.

Fayad shoved his remaining 17,000 in the middle and Malaev shrugged and made the call. Fayad showed {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for a rivered two pair but Malaev flipped {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} for flopped top two pair to eliminate him.

Malaev has about 67,000 now as a result.
