Stephen Kubuju opens to 14,000 and Thu Nguyen three-bets to 45,000. Kubuju puts in a fourth bet for 100,000 and Nguyen calls to the Diamond KHeart 5Club 2 flop.

Kubuju checks, Nguyen bets 115,000 and Kubuju moves all in for 123,000. For only 8,000 more, Nguyen calls with Spade QHeart J and Kubuju is miles ahead with Heart KClub K as a 97% favorite.

Nguyen picks up an open-ended straight draw on the Heart 10 turn and his runner-runner win is complete on the Spade A river. The table explodes, everyone runs over to witness, and Kubuju walks to the payout desk after the rough beat.
