Prashanth Nataraj limped in from the button and Laurance Essak jammed in the big blind. Nataraj gave it some thought and called.

Laurance Essak: A♦6♠ All in
Prashanth Nataraj: A♠J♦

The flop of Q♦7♦8♣ kept Essak alive and the 5♠ turn kept it interesting by giving him an open-ended straight draw. But the Q♠ then landed on the river to confirm Essak's runner-up finish as Nataraj secured his first bracelet.
