With action folding around to the blinds, Usman Inayatullah shoved all-in for 2,500,000. After asking for a count, Russell Giordano, in the big blind, called putting Inayatullah at risk and taking them to showdown.

Usman Inayatullah: J♣9♦ All in
Russell Giordano: 8♦6♦

Inayatullah, already ahead, strengthened his lead with the flop 7♠9♣6♠, but it also gave Giordano more outs with a straight draw. His draw completed when the turn fell 10♠. Still hoping, Inayatullah did not receive his needed cards when the river 7♥ was dealt, which immediately sealed his fate to be sent to the payout counter.
