Ragavan "Rags" Thiagarajah raised to 10,000 from the cutoff and the big blind called. They went heads up to the 
flop and the big blind check-called a bet of 12,000 from Thiagarajah.
Both players checked the 
turn card and the 
completed the board. The big blind fired out a bet of 16,000 and Thiagarajah quickly called.
"Good call" said the player turning over 
for jack high and Thiagarajah showed 
for king high to take the pot.
