Ahmad Popal was all in for 2,450,000 from early position and up against Maurice Hawkins in the hijack.
Ahmad Popal: A?K?
Maurice Hawkins: Q?Q?
The 3?2?5? flop gave Popal a straight draw, while the J? fell on the turn.
"Oh, that's a jack," Hawkins said upon seeing a paint card. The 3? came on the river and Hawkins' queens stayed in front to send Popal to the rail.
"I thought the jack was a king," Hawkins said as he ran over to exchange hi-fives with his rail.
