Vasu Amarapu put his remaining chips at risk against Paul Sincere on a flop that read 2♥10♣Q♥.
Vasu Amarapu: A♥8♥8♣3♥3♣
Paul Sincere: A♣A♦Q♦J♣J♠
Sincere needed to dodge a heart, an eight, and the back door low draw to scoop.
The 5♠ was a sweat for Amarapu, as it gave him a gutter to the wheel but it wasn't meant to be as the 2♣ changed nothing and sent him to the rail.
