The pot stood at around 6,000 with two players in the hand on the J♥Q♣K♦ flop.
Claudio Maksoud moved all in from the small blind and got a call from the big blind.
Big Blind: K♥Q♦
Claudio Maksoud: Q♥10♥
The big blind had hit two pair on the flop, but Maksoud had both straight draw and runner-runner flush draw outs.
The 9♠ turn gave Maksoud the needed straight to catapult him back into being the favorite and the big blind couldn't find a way back on the 2♠ river to save him from being eliminated.
One player on the table remarked to Maksoud after the hand, "You are gambling too, huh?"
Maksoud joked back with, "Of course, I am watching you and learning."
