Eric Kurtzman put in a re-raise to 19,500 preflop and Laszlo Bujtas called from the hijack. The flop came {4-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Kurtzman continued for another 17,500.

Bujtas called to see the {6-Diamonds} fall on the turn. Kurtzman checked, as did Bujtas. Both players also checked the {10-Diamonds} on the river.

Kurtzman showed {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} for a pair of aces, but Bujtas had him beat with {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for two pair, queens and eights, to take the sizeable pot.
