Ben Strumpf raised to 35,000 from the cutoff and action folded to Sachin Joshi in the big blind who three-bet to 100,000. Strumpf responded with a shove and Joshi called.

Ben Strumpf: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Sachin Joshi: {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

The board ran out {10-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs} for Joshi to hit top pair on the flop immediately. No help on the board on the turn nor river for Strumpf as he left the tournament in nineteenth place for $1,032.
