Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

A short-stacked Shahan Sikander was all-in preflop with the 8♠7♥6♠4♣ and table chip leader Jim Collopy looked him up with the Q♠J♣J♦8♦.

The Q♥7♦4♦ flop gave Sikander two pair and a gutshot but Collopy improved to a flush with the 6♦ turn. Sikander still had some outs to boat up but the A♦ river sealed his fate.
