The turn was the 
. Brar checked, and the under-the-gun player moved all in for 66,500. The hijack went into the tank for a full minute before releasing his hand. Brar snap-called for his last 54,000 and tabled 
for the nut straight. His opponent tabled 
for a pair of queens and was drawing dead to the 
on the river.
