Action folded to the player in the hijack and he raised to 38,000. John Nguyen shoved from the button for 123,000 and Craig Varnell made a pot-sized four-bet out of the small blind, putting the hijack to a decision for the remainder of his stack. He went into the tank for just under a minute before he ultimately called to put himself at risk.

John Nguyen: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{3-Hearts}
Craig Varnell: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Hijack: {K-}{Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

Varnell had the lead with his aces and both his opponents needed help to survive. The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} so Varnell took the pot to eliminate both players.
