The action was picked up on the flop of 3♥7♥4♥ and Ravi Raghavan was all in for 395,000.
A brief tense moment arose at the table before Brandon Sunshine made the call with Raghavan at risk.
Ravi Raghavan: 4♦5♦
Brandon Sunshine: Q♠4♠
Sunshine made a good call on the flop with his queen-kicker dominating Raghavan's hand.

As luck had it, a miracle came on fifth street as the 5♠ peeled off, giving Ragahavan two pair and a double up.
