With the board showing Heart 10Heart 8Diamond 4Diamond A on the turn and a little more than 28K already in the pot, Johnny Oshana checks the hijack, WPT Champions Club member Frank Stepuchin bets 12,500 from the cutoff, and Oshana check-raises all in.

Stepuchin tanks for a while before he calls all in for 36,500 with Club JDiamond 10 for two pair, tens and eights. But Oshana turns over Heart ADiamond 5 for a higher two pair, aces and eights, and Stepuchin needs to catch a ten on the river to stay alive.

The river card pairs the board with the Club 8, and Oshana wins the pot with his higher two pair to eliminate Frank Stepuchin from Day 1A.
