After losing the first few pots of heads up and chopping with the nut straight, Hooman Nikzad started the action with a raise to 650,000.

Carlos Leiva responded with another raise to 2,450,000 and Nikzad made the call.

The wheel spun, J105 and Leiva announced a pot-sized bet. Nikzad pushed his remaining chips forward and Leiva pushed forward a stack to make it official.

The board ran out with the Q and the 9, giving Nikzad a straight but Leiva declared his better straight and upon confirming, him and his rail burst into celebration.
