Action folded around to Jeff Charlton in the small blind and he moved in for 270,000. Danny Calway-Fagen looked at Charlton’s chips and called with a similar stack in the big.

Charlton:
Calway-Fagen:

Calway-Fagen called with the better hand and faded the flop though Charlton added a gutshot draw. The turn was a blank and Calway-Fagen gave a mini-fist pump after the river. The dealer counted down his stack and 292,000 was enough to Charlton out in seventh place.
