{J-Diamonds}

{10-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

and Engel moved in for his last 875. His opponent made the call, saying, "I have nothing," and showing {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

for a gutshot draw to Engel's {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{J-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

and top two pair. A blank fell on the turn, but on the the river the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

spiked to give the other player Broadway and send Engel out of the tournament.
