Tim Rutherford raises from the hijack to about 200,000, leaving himself just 30,000 behind. George James, mistakenly thinking that Rutherford had moved all in, calls from the big blind and turns over Heart KClub K.

Because Rutherford hasn’t moved all in, the hand will continue, and the flop comes Spade AClub 7Heart 4. James bets enough to put Rutherford all in, and Rutherford calls all in for his last 30,000 and turns over X 10X 10, need to catch another ten to stay alive.

The turn card is the Heart A, the river card is the Diamond 6, and the pocket kings hold up for James to win the pot and eliminate Rutherford in 37th place.

George James  –  525,000  (26 bb)
Tim Rutherford  –  Eliminated in 37th Place  (CAD $12,295)
