Mehdi Alaei opened to 42,000 and Jeff Chang made the call from the big blind.

The flop fell down {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{10-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

and Chang checked to Alaei, who made it 100,000 to go. With the action back on Chang, he pushed for his remaining 227,000 with Alaei making the call.

Chang: {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

Alaei:

{4-Clubs}

{4-Diamonds}

With Chang in great shape to double up, he would see the safe {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

fall on the turn followed by the {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

on the river.

As Alaei looked down at his remaining 270,000 in chips, Chang raked in the pot to move to 650,000 in chips.
