Kathy Sawers raises under the gun to 21,000, David Bonneau reraises from the hijack to 69,000, and Senthuran Vijayaratnam calls from the cutoff. Sawers calls as well.

The flop comes Club 8Club 3Heart 2, and it checks to Vijayaratnam, who bets 125,000. Sawers folds, and Bonneau calls.

The turn card is the Diamond 5, Bonneau checks, and Vijayaratnam moves all in for 249,000. Bonneau asks for an exact count and tanks for a long time before he says, “I don’t believe you.”

Bonneau calls with Spade AHeart Q for ace high, but Vijayaratnam turns over Diamond KClub K for the lead. Vijayaratnam needs his hand to hold to stay alive.

The river card is the Heart 6, and Vijayaratnam breathes a sigh of relief as his pocket kings hold up to win the pot, doubling his chip stack.

David Bonneau  –  260,000  (33 bb)
